Twenty five years of Mac

Love 'em or hate 'em, today marks the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Apple Macintosh. Two days ago was the 25th anniversary of the famous 1984 commercial courtesy of YouTube.

25 years and I still don't understand that commercial.

It's totally metaphorical, plus ties in with 1984.

Is that the voice of Liam Neeson??

George Orwell, conformity, iconoclasm...

Funnily enough, just a few days ago, I ran across my copy of "The 1997 Apple MacAdvocate CD-ROM" with the commercial on it, in .mov format.
