One year of e-mobility – and it just works. One year ago we went all in. From 100% diesel to 100% electric. Despite all the scepticism, all the naysayers, and all the range anxiety. We did nothing fancy. We're no innovators, no early adopters. We're just part of the early majority.

25 years ago, on 13 September 2000, #MacOSX Public Beta was released at Apple Expo Paris. The "operating system for the next 15 years" is now 25 years old. What an amazing engineering feat to evolve such large software (operating) system over such a long time! Kudos to the engineers at #Apple
