Editor: 20 years ago, the very first Macintosh personal computer was unveiled by Apple in Cupertino, CA. In order to help celebrate this momentous anniversary, widget : widget is extremely proud to announce the immediate availability of 'Magnum Opus', the largest Compendium of Apple hardware icons ever made. This icon set has been in preparation for over 18 months. It contains no less than 270 individual icons, 4,769,280 individual pixels, in addition to a great deal of time, patience, and love. Every single Apple computer ever made is covered. If you're looking for a Newton icon, there's bound to be one here. If you've got a new eMac and need something cool to identify it by, then there's an eMac icon too. Even if you feel a bit nostalgic and fancy remembering the Lisa, Macintosh TV, or even the good ol' Macintosh 128k, they're all here as well. In addition to computers, the set also contains over 100 'accessory' icons, ranging from various ADB mouse to the brand new iPod mini.
Apple hasn't always had an easy ride. The mid-nineties nearly killed the company, and not a month goes by without a smug, pessimistic analyst foretelling the company's death. Yet one thing has remained synonymous with Apple over it's tenure: the Macintosh. This is the product that has shaped Apple the most. Not the Apple I, or even the Lisa have had such a profound over Apple, let alone the world of computing. Whilst it may seem as though the Macintosh was launched only yesterday, twenty years is a long time. It's uncertain as to whether the Macintosh of tomorrow will be very similair to what we use now. But one thing is certain: it will probably be better.
Please join us in toasting the Macintosh to another glorious twenty years, and hopefully, many more after that..
