With the advent of the Apple Macintosh in 1984, personal computing changed forever. Much more affordable than its older sibling the Lisa, the Mac (which debuted at about $2,500) was the first computer sold in retail outlets to feature a mouse-driven Graphical User Interface, or GUI. Users opened files, copied files, launched programs - in short, entered all their basic instructions to the computer - by using the mouse to click on visual icons on the computer screen, which was now called a desktop.
