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> The Macintosh was a great computter but there were three major flaws. 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.
