I am just sharing as this Apple keynote is the gold of history in technology and needs to be preserved and shared, and as a retro tech lover, this is my pleasure.
On January 22, 1984, the "1984" commercial cryptically announcing the Macintosh is televised during the 3rd quarter break of Super Bowl XVIII.
About Macintosh 128K:
The Machintosh 128k was released on January 24, 1984; 39 years ago, and it was priced at $2,500.
It was in development for 6 years 1978-1984.
The Processor [CPU] - Motorola 68000 microprocessor running at 7.8336 MHz
RAM - 128k
ROM - 64KB ROM Chip
Graphics [GPU] - The 68000 and video controller took turns accessing DRAM every four CPU cycles during the display of the frame buffer, while the 68000 had unrestricted access to DRAM during vertical and horizontal blanking intervals.
Storage - The Macintosh contained a single 400 KB, single-sided 3+1⁄2-inch floppy disk drive, dedicating no space to other internal mechanical storage.
Software - The Macintosh shipped with the very first System and Finder application, known to the public as "System 1.0"
Cooling - The unit did not include a fan, relying instead on convective heat transfer, which made it quiet while in operation.
The computer was released in January 1984 as simply the Apple Macintosh. Following the release of the Macintosh 512K in September, which expanded the memory from 128 KB to 512 KB, the original Macintosh was re-branded Macintosh 128K and nicknamed the "thin Mac". The new 512K model was nicknamed the "fat Mac".
