I stand corrected -- I didn't remember the Apricot appearing quite so 
early. I must have I seen an Apricot before I first saw a Mac. We're 
still talking about the same timeframe for 3.5" disks, though.

I recall the date on which I first saw a Mac quite clearly because that 
was at a conference I attended in the US in February 1984.

Cheers,
 Daniel.
