maybe i'm preaching to the choir, i dunno.

But you can go to images.yahoo.com, click on the Video tab, and type in a search for "1984 Macintosh" and download/view the video if anyone's interested.  It still sends chills down my back, even 20 yrs later...

Or I could upload it to the site here, tho its 13.1 MB.  Just an idea...

thanks - i'll check it out when i get home. i'm not having luck downloading from the sites on yahoo from work.

scratch that - i just watched it. creepy.

Christine & Diana share a one bedroom flat in Noe Valley.  To celebrate their first anniversary they buy a Jack Russell terrier.  If the dog requires two walks per day and they live 2 1/2 blocks from Duboce Park, how many hours per week will they spend discussing their relationship?

ROTFLSHISMOOMN!

Hey Gaz, do you remember a funny that got distibuted around Schwab back in the day?  I distinctly remember getting it passed to me by Matt Kelly, it was a set of faux word problems called something like "Only in SF Math Problems"? Ring any bells?

I do remember that -- it was great.  I think one of them dealt with how many dime bags Rollo had to sell in Hunters Point to break even for the day.

I think it'd be a great sound bite for 84 if Dave played the only-once-ever-aired-but-best-commercial-ever Macintosh commercial for 1984 -- because it was based on George Orwell's 1984.. of course it works better with the video but the sound-only version probably would be Ok.

this is the original version, not the one with the ipod.
