Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh

No hat (a TAM, as it’s generally known, is a hat) and almost a year late (intended to mark Apple’s 20th anniversary, it didn’t ship for almost a year after that), this finally sold for a fifth of its starting price (a limited edition, it went on sale in June 1997 for almost $10,000, but by March 1998 when it was discontinued was available for as little as $1,999).

3: No dead keys in coming realtime recognition.

Live Text

No dead keys (but live text) in coming (in macOS Monterey) realtime recognition (it’s realtime optical character recognition in images).

I look forward to your putting alternative cases.
