The Mac is 25 on 24 January. This is that video everyone raved about when it was shown during the 1984 Superbowl :
You can read more here, but the one quotation I really like is from John C Dvorak in the San Francisco Examiner:
The nature of the personal computer is simply not fully understood by companies like Apple (or anyone else for that matter). Apple makes the arrogant assumption of thinking that it knows what you want and need. It, unfortunately, leaves the “why** out of the equation **” as in “why would I want this?** The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a **˜mouse’. There is no evidence that people want to use these things. I dont want one of these new fangled devices.
I like it when people say things which could so easily blow up in their faces.
Most embarrassing of all has to be how anyone thought the Mac would ever beat the PC.
