So here they are – in their entirety:

Apple Time Capsule (1987 -> 1997):

 

The Road Ahead – Home (1995 -> 2004):

The Road Ahead – Education (1995 ->2004):

 

Also, check out this display in The Road Ahead.  Look familiar?

Did Apple steal the design of the iMac from Bill Gates and Microsoft?!

WHAT?
