It's a great commercial when you can still remember the basic premise 25 years later.


course, I guess the product has to be pretty decent also.

We didn't own a TV in 1984, so we missed those commercials. Might have owned a Commodore back then, though.

We need the appropriate Eurythmics soundtrack.

Yeah, in 1984 all the home computers that I saw were Mac's... (unless they were Commodore 64's)

So what happened to that business model? :p

Guess that means I've had a Mac for very near 25 years. Business model seems intact to me. Still the best damn PC on the market. By a long way. And I am really happy that Scully was unsuccessful in corporatizing the Mac.
