Just to pick a nit: the Mac was revealed to the world in January of 1984, and I got mine the summer of 1984, when we were living in Rogers Park.
The dates are certain, but which apartment it was might be a little less so; the earliest image in my mind pictures it on the desk I had in the dining room of that apartment. (I forget; was it on Fargo, or Jarvis? Google Earth makes me think it was on Fargo, based on where I think the laundromat and pizza places were.)
Although I did have the cutaway drawing leaked from the brochure (and reprinted by EE Times) up on the living room wall in Evanston for a few months before they shipped the thing.
Oops; a little more review (trying to remember my walk home from the Howard Street el station, and bouncing there from Ridge in my old Pacer), I now think it was on Birchwood. In fact, the building still seems to be there in these images.
I confess, while I can still find most of the places I've been to, street names do not necessarily stay with me.

Birchwood is the correct street, I'm sure.
I'll see about correcting the chronology too.
