...using a Macintosh. Apple PR should grab onto this one and run!!

Or shouldn't the credit actually go to the *people* who made this work?
Yes, simple, plug-and-play systems made the job much easier, but it's
kind of silly for the hardware vendors to take the credit here. If they
were on PCs and an AS/400 (or something), it might have taken a day
longer but it still would have happened, thanks to the people who cared
enough to make it happen.
