How it revolutionized my life:
  • My family bought this computer when I was at a point when better graphics, the internet, more extensive word-processing abilities, and more comprehensive researching facilities were becoming important for my schoolwork. 
  • And it had a CD-ROM!
  • And it had a colour screen! (I thought I was touching the future.)


Its effect on the computer market:
  • The AV version became invaluable for multimedia professionals.
  • The PC-compatible model proved that Apple/IBM integration was possible, and broke down the barrier between the two platforms.
