Watch: Tim Cook Amazed As Man Brings 39-yr-old Macintosh At Apple Mumbai BKC’s Store

Apple CEO Tim Cook surprised at seeing a customer bring his old Macintosh Classic machine at the opening of India’s first Apple store at Mumbai’s BKC

Apple Inc opened its first retail store in India in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla complex and CEO Tim Cook was in for a surprise. One customer named Sajid Moeenuddin showed up at an Apple store with a Macintosh that was nearly four decades old.

When Cook opened the door to customers, Sajid greeted him with a Macintosh SE in hand. During a media interview, he revealed that he has kept the computer for nearly 40 years and managed to get it signed by Apple’s CEO and Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of retail and people. “I brought it just to show the journey of Apple since 1984. This is the first Mac SE which was launched in 1984. I have been using Apple products since 1984. It has been a long journey,” said a person from suburban Goregaon who joined queue at 6am.

Dozens of cameras located outside the building at the grand opening captured the reaction of Cook, who was quite surprised to see one of Apple’s most popular gadgets from the past. “The energy, creativity and passion in Mumbai is incredible! We are so excited to open Apple BKC — our first store in India,” Cook tweeted. Apart from Mumbai, Apple will open its second store in Delhi’s Saket Nagar on April 20.

The Macintosh SE was first released in the 1980s, a few years after Apple was co-founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. This computer, which came with a 9-inch monochrome monitor, was a popular choice until 1989. In terms of computer specifications, it had 1 or 2 MB of RAM, expandable to 4 MB, a processing speed of 8 MHz, a ROM size of 256k, and a standard 20 or 40 MB hard disk
