The Macintosh PC is 30 today (1 Viewer)

[Tom Servo]

I can't believe all of you Apple fanboys missed the fact that today in 1984 this was introduced to the public.

BTW, that's the ad that ran:

Its only U.S. daytime televised broadcast was on January 22, 1984 during and as part of the telecast of the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII. Chiat/Day also ran the ad one other time on television, in December 1983 right before the 1:00 am sign-off on KMVT in Twin Falls, Idaho, so that the advertisement could be submitted to award ceremonies for that year.

 

[Mr. Ected]

Remember that ad. Had a Commodore 64 at the time, moved 'up' to the Apple IIe. Remember being hugely jealous of a friend of mine when we went off to college (fall 1988) and part of their Freshman tuition was a Mac. Thought it was cool that the whole school was going to have them.
