Well, I've failed to do anything interesting specially for the 25th birthday of the mac, so instead:

Some pictures of my collection.

And the very first iSteve keynote, from January 24th, 1984. No black poloneck, but otherwise the format hasn't changed a whole lot:

I have fond memories of using MacPaint on my dad's first Mac - a Mac Plus. This one, in fact. I always drew houses, not sure why. I have less fond memories of doing the floppy shuffle, until he got an external floppy drive.

Those of you with time on your hands and an interest in such things might like to take a look at folklore.org - a collection of stories about the development of the first mac, by people on the team.

Heh, I remember the floppy shuffle from the Amiga. This was especially annoying while playing Indy 3: The disc change was somewhere halfway in Castle Grunwald with all the sound files on the first disc so when you're on the next disc and opened a door you had to swap floppies for the sound. Highly annoying.
