The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Macintosh - A Brief and Warped history of the Mac by Richard Tanner. Starting with the first computers, this series will trace the origins of the Mac, all the way to the present day and Mac anecdotes. This is an expanded version of my written column for the MacCast.

This Podcast is produced using Apple’s GarageBand and iWeb - so my apologies that it’s all a little generic - but I am making it with these tools on principal! This Podcast is based on my column, written by Richard Tanner for the MacCast and may have many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy was written by the late Douglas Adams who was an avid Mac fan and owned the first Mac to be sold in Europe on which many of his works were written.
