I've been enjoying it too as someone who only really became familiar with Apple in their 2000s renaissance with the iPod (I mean, I wasn't alive for long prior to that) What's really wild to me is seeing the prices on these things, especially adjusted for inflation. The Macintosh XL was $10,000 in 1983, or a whopping $31,000+ adjusted for inflation! It's quite incredible how the playing field has really levelled out these days. At least in the west, whether you're rich or not, everyone is using fundamentally the same technology. Maybe film production studios will spend tens of thousands of dollars on a specialized machine for rendering video or 3D worlds, but in most cases you're probably using the same or a similar device as the richest individuals on earth. Everyone from Taylor Swift to Elon Musk have smart phones and laptops that do the same things as mine.
