“Never Trust A Computer You Can’t Lift”

by Emon on September 15, 2008

That’s a line ’spoken’ by this machine that opened with:

Hello, I’m Macintosh. It sure is great to get out of that bag

Watching the 24-year old keynote video, I can’t help but notice that some things haven’t changed - the crowd’s response to features or new products (the sight of a chessboard got them going), a drop of sense of humor, the dramatic way Jobs introduces his products; the bow-tie and reading from cards are gone.

But there’s only one Mac commercial. Only one Ridley Scott.

I wonder if Apple has something planned for Mac’s 25th birthday.  Hmm, we’ll see.

I can’t help but think am I glad computers came a long way. I also have a new appreciation for Job’s black turtle neck shirts, that bow-tie!

For someone who hated dressing up for work, I don’t know how he was persuaded to don a bow-tie.

It would be cool to have a slideshow projected on to this black shirt. Esp…when he does the…”and one more thing.”
