I found this awesome chart on TUAW, and I couldn’t not post it. It follows every major Apple product upgrade from 1976 until 2007.

Netsua is his personal blog and website, where he writes about a variety of topics that interest him. The word "Netsua" is in fact Austen's name spelled backwards. It literally translates from gibberish to "Greatness on the level of Austen."
In addition to Netsua, Austen also writes for the mac application blog MacApper.
Cool. I was provided an Apple IIe (1983) for my consulting work with Vega and Associates back in Baltimore. I ran the groundbreaking VisiCalc, predecessor to MS Excell, and used it almost every day!
I subsequently tried SuperCalc, but became super-proficient with Lotus 1-2-3 while working as a cable tv analyst in the early 90’s. I had some of my macros published in Lotus 1-2-3 magazine. Our computer IT department considered me a DOS “power-user”.
To this day, I’m partial to keyboard shortcuts.

Wow, I looked at the Wikipedia article for VisCalc and it looks very… green. It’s amazing how far computer have evolved graphically in the past 20 years.
