=== The [[Macintosh]] ===
In 1984, the next huge Apple computer was released. Apple paired with Adobe to create Adobe PageMaker, the first [[Desktop Publisher]] ever created. Using it, small companies could make official-looking documents, a milestone in technology history. The application ran exclusively on the Macintosh. The Macintosh was famous for it's "1984" supperbowl advertisement. The Macintosh was the first device to have a Graphic User Interface (GUI). The name of the device was taken from Steve Job's favorite type of apples the McIntosh apples. Despite the difference in spelling the name was also used by McIntosh Labs who brought cirtin leagal problems into play. <ref> iCon: Steve Jobs </ref>

One it only had six applications and Two the Macintosh did not have an internal hardrive to save to, so users constantly had to do the "Floppydisk Olympics", Three the device was not expandable.

The Apple IIg was a mix between the two, but its main feature was that it was mouse driven. This was an amazing and unheard of innovation.

==John Scully==
[[John Scully]] was appointed CEO of Apple by Steve Jobs because they would not let him run the company. Jobs picked Scully because he knew nothing about computers and would need to depend on Jobs for all decisions. This backfired on Jobs when he was forced to leave the company leaving control into the hand of a man who knew nothing about computters. When Jobs left the company was sent into despair. There was no vision and Scully was barely able to keep the company alive.
