The original Macintosh took me by suprise in 1984 because, as a hobbyist with limited access to research literature, I wasn't aware of the work at Xerox PARC and elsewhere on Graphical User Interfaces. I was familiar with the text and graphics modes of home and personal computers but the mouse-driven interface came out of the blue for me.

@amoroso The first time I came across a Macintosh (which I had never heard of before) was at a computer camp in around 1985. I remember being fascinated with the GUI, the mouse, but most impressively, the little hard floppy disks that would auto eject! It felt worlds away from my Commodore VIC-20!

I still have my first Apple - a Mac SE FDHD from 1987!

Earlier this week, Peter Gutmann and @sten published a bombshell paper: The looked at all the reported factorization "breakthroughs" in quantum computing. And found that all of them essentially were magician's tricks, "sleight of hand".

The two reconstructed the algorithms used on a 1981 home computer (a million times less powerful than what you hold in your hand now), an #Abacus and with a #dog.
