Purchased on January 24, 1984, from, of all places, a Dillard's department store in Dallas, TX.

There it is, next to a NeXT Cube and a CHRP box, on the top shelf in my office:

Also present are a 20th Anniversary Mac and a PowerBook Duo, with dock:

And over 22 years later, I'm still using Macs. Even found a wife who loves Macs too. ;-)

Hmm, after re-thinking this, perhaps the bigger news here is that I found a wife.

You gotta love those old school computer conversations on /. Every rare once in a while it's nice to get nostalgic.
