Now then, lovely Cultists. We need your help.
You may have heard that this coming Saturday, January 24th, is a special day in the hearts of Mac aficionados. It will mark the 25th anniversary of the Macintosh computer, the machine that turned Apple into a global brand and kick-started the line of computers that has ended up as today’s line up of Pro, Mini and MacBook.
And what we’d like to do to celebrate the Mac’s birthday is find someone who is still using one.
Is that you? Do you have an original Mac that still boots up? Do you still actually use it for anything?
If you have, or if you do, let us know.
We will EITHER: send a media squad to your home to interview you. Top photographers will take pictures of you and your original Mac for use in magazines like Vogue, Playboy, Country Living, Knitting Monthly and possibly even Wired. A real time satellite link will be set up between your home and the White House so that Barack Obama himself can send congratulations and ask you questions about that 8 MHz Motorola 68000 processor. We will also send you a pony.
OR: We might write a post about you.
So, like we said: got a (working) original Mac? We want to know.
