    That was roughly two months ago, the Apple I was introduced 
back in July 1976  (I'm not aware of the exact day, we're talking
about a homebrewed computer kit, not a mass-produced product from 
a factory). The Apple Computer Company (pre "Inc.") was formed just
a few months prior, April 1st, 1976.

    This January will mark the 20th year since Apple Computer 
incorporated, and I suppose we should all remember come this
June, the original Apple ][ turns 20 years old! :-) (Those are
two dates worth taking note of, well, at least the latter one ;)
