The TAM was a work of art, they only made 10,601 of them (odd number, eh?) and I owned one for two years after Steve came back to Apple and put 'em on "fire sale" status for 2 thousand bucks...the leftovers flew off the shelf.
I've never owned a more jaw dropping, elegant, audience pleasing device. The capabilities at the time were amazing, the remote control could turn it on or off, open the drop-down CD ROM door, turn on the optional TV, change channels, and NOTHING out there could touch it for the sound quality.
Rant and rave about it being a piece of overpriced underpowered junk...there was nothing like it out there, and never has been. It still looks great in person, although compared to today's standards, is woefully inadequate. But that's to be expected given the history, overall, of computing power over the years.
I sitll have the pen and pencil set in their original leather case, and the wall poster hanging in my office. I lament Apple not putting out a "special" machine to mark the 25th Anniversary of Apple Computer, or the 20th Anniversary of the Macintosh for 2004...but can totally understand given the economy in general and how Steve had nothing to do with the original TAM.
Then again, it's only February. Who knows?
