I wrote a review of the Mac when it first came out. A couple of quotes from that review sum up my reaction at the time:
"When I took the Mac on a visit to my father's home, I could not get him to stop playing with it. He has had ample opportunity to use other personal computers -- even some with mice -- but has barely been willing to sit still for a short demonstration. With the Mac, he started by himself, drew silly pictures, wrote silly words, and had a good time..."
That was the good news, but I also wrote:
"Now for some bad news. Although this review is about the Macintosh, I am writing it on an IBM PC."
The rest of the article was an in-depth review of the Mac, which included many shortcomings, but concluded that it was an important step and the hardware limitations would soon be overcome. As you see in the other Mac reviews I've posted here, they were.
