Kusuka Kumlando We-Apple: I-Mac Ithumele Kanjani I-imeyili Yokuqala Isuka Emkhathini

Umlayezo owodwa we-Macintosh, ukugxuma okukhulu kwezobuchwepheshe. Ehlobo lika-1991, i-imeyili yokuqala evela emkhathini yathunyelwa isuka ku-Macintosh Portable ngosizo lwesofthiwe ye-AppleLink. Umlayezo othunyelwe izisebenzi zasemkhathini i-Atlantis ubuqukethe ukubingelela kweplanethi enguMhlaba okuvela kubasebenzi be-STS-43. “Lena i-AppleLink yokuqala evela emkhathini. Siyakuthokozela lapha, ngifisa sengathi ngabe ulapha," kusho i-imeyili, ephetha ngokuthi "Hasta la vista, baby ... sizobuya!".

Umgomo oyinhloko wemishini ye-STS-43 kwakuwukubeka uhlelo lwesine lwe-TDRS (Tracking and Data Relay Satellite) emkhathini, olusetshenziselwa ukulandelela, ezokuxhumana kanye nezinye izinjongo. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, i-Macintosh Portable okukhulunywe ngayo ngenhla yayikumkhumbi-mkhathi i-Atlantis. Kwakuyidivayisi yokuqala "yeselula" evela ku-workshop ye-Apple futhi yabona ukukhanya kosuku ngo-1989. Ngokusebenza kwayo emkhathini, i-Macintosh Portable yayidinga ukuguqulwa okumbalwa kuphela.

Ngesikhathi sendiza, ithimba le-shuttle lizame ukuhlola izingxenye ezihlukahlukene ze-Macintosh Portable, kuhlanganise ne-trackball eyakhelwe ngaphakathi kanye negundane elibonakalayo elingelona i-Apple. I-AppleLink kwakuyinsizakalo yokuqala ye-inthanethi eyayisetshenziswa ekuqaleni ukuxhuma abasabalalisi be-Apple. Esikhaleni, i-AppleLink bekufanele inikeze ukuxhumana noMhlaba. "Isikhala" se-Macintosh Portable siphinde sasebenzisa isofthiwe evumela abasebenzi be-shuttle ukuthi balandelele indawo yabo yamanje ngesikhathi sangempela, bayiqhathanise nemephu Yomhlaba ebonisa imijikelezo yemini nobusuku, futhi bafake ulwazi olufanele. I-Macintosh egibele i-shuttle iphinde yasebenza njengewashi le-alamu, yazisa abasebenzi ukuthi kuzokwenziwa ucwaningo oluthile.

Kodwa i-Macintosh Portable bekungeyona yodwa idivaysi ye-Apple yokubheka emkhathini ku-shuttle yasemkhathini. Iqembu lalihlome ngewashi le-WristMac elikhethekile - bekuwuhlobo lwamanduleli we-Apple Watch, ekwazi ukudlulisa idatha ku-Mac isebenzisa imbobo ye-serial.

I-Apple yahlala ixhumeke endaweni yonke iminyaka eminingi ngemuva kokuthunyelwa kwe-imeyili yokuqala. Imikhiqizo yenkampani ye-Cupertino ibikhona emishinini eminingi yasemkhathini ye-NASA. Isibonelo, i-iPod ingene emkhathini, futhi muva nje siphinde sabona kudlalwa isethi yo-DJ iPad emkhathini.

Isithombe se-iPod emkhathini saze safinyelela encwadini ethi "Designed in California". Kodwa kwakucishe kwaqondana. Isithombe seNASA se-iPod kudeshibhodi sake satholwa yilowo owayengumklami omkhulu wakwa-Apple uJony Ive.
