The fine folks at The Motley Fools remind us that Apple was incorporated on this day in 1977.
The article also reminds us of who Apple's original competitors were - the Altair 8800, the Radio Shack TRS-80, the Commodore 64 and IBM.
That reminded me that when IBM released their PC they blanketed the airwaves with commercials featuring the cast from M*A*S*H. Amazing to look back and realize that while Apple today is perhaps the most influential company in the world - IBM's are as influential today to PC's as the cast from M*A*S*H is to network primetime TV.
