All iconic Apple products are from his desk ... Nevertheless, I'm not saying Jobs is a "nobody" in the company (far from it), but it's Ive who was able to (really) turn the tide (financially). And Wauw! thank you for the products (Apple), and the beautiful, nostalgic article (author) It’s pretty clear (in my opinion) that the brain behind (the modern)  isn’t Steve Jobs but Jonathan Ive.

The Apple II was competing with things like the Sol-20 and the SuperBrain which were epicly ugly. Remember that early Apple computers were much better looking than their contemporaries.

But they made a horrible red and yellow (Quadra 800 style) tower version (I believe titled Manhattan and something else?) and although not specifically made by apple, they briefly allowed other companies to manufacture compatible computers.After Apple's Flavours range of iMac they also released the charcoal AV version of the iMac.Other than that, nice list, really enjoyed seeing some of their product range and always wanted a Twentieth Anniversary and Cube.

They force you to stretch the resolution across screens, so it's not as easy to use your extra screens independently.2. Your monitors all must be the same resolution to work properly with Matrox devices.I prefer using USB to DVI adapters for adding extra displays. I show how I use them here: http://www.kevinkane.com/2009/08/boost-productivity-52-and-save-2-5-hours-daily-with-multi-monitors/But Jeff Atwood knows how to do three displays on a Mac: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/03/does-more-than-one-monitor-improve-productivity.html Rolf, thanks again.
