by Chris Olson
     Special to Open for Business

Apple computer has a long and distinguished list of "firsts" in personal
computing, not to mention the least of which, they invented personal
computing as we know it today. The others include a long line of stuff,
including, but not limited to, in personal computer "firsts," first with
a GUI, first with a mouse, first with a color monitor, first with a
floppy drive, first with a hard drive, first to have a CD-ROM, first to
make home movie editing possible, first with USB and Firewire, first
with 64-bit processor -- the list goes on.
