On January 24, the Macintosh computer celebrated its 30th birthday. In a recent article from Windows IT Pro, one PC repair professional commemorated the event by recalling all his interesting experiences servicing the computer.
He remembers how difficult it was to even get the original Mac open—a feat that required a 12-inch hex driver to remove several screws and a special “Mac Cracker” to separate the front and back housings. He also recalled how the computer’s video tube produced a strong shock that left fingers numb for several minutes, was loud enough to resemble a “resounding thunderclap” that could “freak people out,” and could produce a lightshow in the dark.
