Linked: “The Next 40”

via Asymco:

In Apple’s first 40 years it shipped 1,591,092,250 computers.

This shipment total is higher than any other computer company in its first 40 years. Actually there are no other PC makers that are 40 years old. One computer maker (IBM) is older but they only sold PCs for 24 years and what they still sell they don’t sell in high numbers.

So many people ignore the Macintosh but wow, Apple and the computers it has made have broken all kinds of amazing records. Macs last longer as far as years used, they are timeless in design and Macs are outpacing the rest of the PC industry today that is shrinking.
