Birth of the Cool

Jump to Comments

Unfortunately this article is not about Miles Davis and his landmark Cool Jazz album, but it is about a computer that is very important to recent history.  The article comes from Wired News and it explains the importance of the Macintosh 128K computer.  It also discusses the struggle for power within the mac corporation.  Basically Steve Jobs needed help so he brought in the president of Pepsi, and then they didn’t get along, (of course) so they had a little feud.  Eventually Jobs was ousted, but he returned to glory in 1996 and we can all feel good inside for this man.  Silicon Valley has never been so scandalous.
