/ Desktop News / HMAUS 30th Anniversary coming soon!
What’s older than the Mac? The Hawaii Macintosh and Apple Users’ Society. It began in 1979, just two years after the introduction of the first Apple II. The Apple II sold for $1,268. It boasted 4 kb of memory and ran at 1 MHz. Folks loved it and the Honolulu Apple Users’ Society (HAUS), Junior Apple Users’ Society (JHAUS) and later, the Hawaii Macintosh User Group (HMUG) were formed. The groups later merged as HMAUS.
Faithful Apple computer users have enjoyed the evolution of this amazing line as it kept its price range but increased its speed and memory exponentially. Speed in consumer Macs has increased 3.2 millionfold, and memory has increased 4 billionfold. That evolution has kept HMAUS members busy learning and savoring life on the Apple side of the world.
On December 5, 2009 we celebrate HMAUS’ 30th Anniversary, the Macintosh’s 25th anniversary and coincidentally, the Internet’s 40th anniversary. Join us for a buffet dinner, a some great HMAUS and Apple stories and lots of fun.
Location: ING Direct Cafe at 1958 Kalakaua Avenue. Parking is available.
