The first Apple Watch was introduced 1995.
It's #contemporary #design is standing out after 30 years, still. While it was deeply integrated into #MacOS System 7.5, it's not one of their digital #gadgets. This #anniversary seems to be perfect to revisit and redraw some shacky lines and seconds in corporate #history of #AppleComputers.

#Apple lost me as #proUser when they rejected my third warranty case in a row.
To rebuild the #AppleWatch from scratch in #vectorgraphics I prefer #Inkscape #SVG #copyleft on #Linux #FOSS over #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai #IP #copyright #software.

Go get the best #vector #designer #app
https://inkscape.org
and you can draw freely #retrocomputer #illustrations like we do.
#DennisRitchie is a legendary developer since #C is still a popular language. The impact of his #MULTICS #UNIX related work on #IRIX #NeXT and #OSX stretches over to #Linux #Android and #iOS as well. Somehow, most users are better aware of what #SteveJobs had stolen from #Xerox.

Having always been the guy behind the camera, I have now stepped IN FRONT of the wretched thing. My big project for 2025 is to start learning how to tell stories with video. Here's my first attempt, taking its start in complex math established in 1905, the evolution of its practical application into stuff we use every day on our computers. Be warned, it's about 10m 30s long.
