I was there in Oct. 1984. This was not an internal ad. I was a 1984 state of the art multimedia slide show with audio by Ray Parker Jr. who sang the original. There were also live dancers on the stage.

This was the opening presentation of the International Sales Meeting that introduced the Lightwriter later renamed Laserwriter.

Apple always used a current movie as a them for the sales meetings. in 1985 it was Back to the Future.

I tried to click the guy at 0:57 because I thought it was an anotation...

@MADJIHAD1942 Also, the fact that people can stitch sentences together without having to rely on periods every four words, is something that you should definitely look into.

So, yeah, I'll use as many commas as I want, thank you very much. I don't really enjoy being told how to write by mental midgets.

@MADJIHAD1942 First of all, the worst mistake is that I've written "know" instead of "now". Second of all, the glass houses thing that MacGod mentioned.

Third, and most important, my usage of "it's" was correct; I used it in the sense of "It is just the fact that [...]".

Thanks for being affected by my grammar, syntax and general speaking-of-the-truth, though. Definitely proves my point. :)

@MADJIHAD1942 As a fellow grammatical pedant, I enjoy the irony of you correcting someone else's grammar, but then immediately using "to many" in lieu of "too many". Glass houses and all that, eh?

[MADJIHAD1942]

@t4paN Poor sentence structure matey. Practice engrish before you post. You used It's when you meant Its. Way to many commas as well.

@furQ That would be because your the turtleneck wearing hipster douchebag I am referring to.

[t4paN]

Meh, even know, Apple is still the same as back then, as far as I can tell. It's just... now they've got "hipsters".

Jeebus.

[furQ]

@akirafactor so how come you don't own any?

This is even funnier when you consider that now Macs are PCs with a flavored Linux =)

Steve Jobs had kind of a creepy mustache.
