20 years of Macintosh. The Classic (full of puns, aren’t we?) Apple ad: The 1984 Ad. Note the digitally dubbed in iPod. That was a nice touch.
UPDATE: Speaking of Mac historia: The 20 Macs that matter most … whatever that means.

- This one seems to going around lately, too. And I too feel dumber having even just read about it. “…sushi-eating, Volvo-driving…”
