A little bit later, after we returned to Bandley 3, we were surprised by a large Apple truck that pulled up in the parking lot near the back of the building. It contained 100 brand new Macintoshes, one for each member of the team, personalized with a little plaque on the back. Steve presented one at a time to each team member with a handshake and a smile as the rest of us stood around cheering. SOURCE

Lets make a list with pictures of first 100 Mac employee who got their personalized Mac. Here are some I have found so far. I am not the author of the pics. They can be found on the internet. All other info found on Folklore.org and from The mac Bathroom reader book by Owen W. Lynzmayer.

1. Andy Hertzfeld (Software wizard; wrote most of the Macintosh Toolbox. Left Apple in 1985)

Good day all! We received a donation of vintage computer equipment and while moving some things around recently we came across this plaque on the back of the Model1. If i understand correctly the first 100 showed 'in appreciation' but I haven't been able to find any mention of 'Team #1' as shown on this unit. Manufacturing date looks to be March of 84. Just looking to see if there is any more information anyone might have?

Thanks,

That's cool. I wonder whether other Apple people were jealous of the "In Appreciation Of" plaques and so they made these.

P. TavenierI: have in my possession a calendar that we all received at the Jan 1983 group off-site conference in Carmel, CA. Each member's birthday is printed on it and there are 90 names -3 of those (at least) left the group well before launch.

This names are from that calendar which has front graphic, same as was found on Susan's Kare twiggy floppy disc.
