"A few weeks ago I was walking along the street in Cambridge, and in someone's trash I saw what appeared to be a Mac carrying case. I looked inside, and there was a Mac SE. I carried it home and plugged it in, and it booted. The happy Macintosh face, and then the finder. My God, it was so simple. It was just like ... Google." Great Hackers, Paul Graham

 

So I'm going down a street and I see a Mac being thrown out :)

 

20 years apart, 1992 to 2012.
