The world we live in started on this day in 1984.   As Wikipedia just told me, it was 27 years ago today that “the first Apple Macintosh, today known as the Macintosh 128K, went on sale, becoming the first commercially successful personal computer to feature a mouse and a graphical user interface rather than a command line interface.”

Modern life, I am four years older than you.  You really ought to give me your lunch money.

Just kidding, modern life.  But I am thinking of extending my end point for Generation X from 1980 or ’82 to 27 years ago yesterday.  Which also happens to be the occasion of Hulk Hogan’s first WWF World Heavyweight Championship.  I don’t think the lines could be any more clear.
