1984


I was still eight months away from birth at the time, but in January of 1984, a Super Bowl ad aired that would change us all. Now, twenty-two years later, it is only right that we look back at Apple's "1984" and recognize that, well, Microsoft didn't really have good commercials. Bill Gates was probably watching the Super Bowl with some friends, but then explicated "SH**!" when he saw this. Actually, everyone probably said the same thing when they realized that this new Mac would have a whopping 1 MB of RAM and no internal hard drive.
