You say you want a Mac revolution?

http://www.curtsmedia.com/cine/1984.html is a look at the Apple advertising venture that's so textbook I'm shocked it has avoided being cliche. Learn how it almost didn't happen, how much Ridley Scott got to make the spot (it cost more than the ad time during the Super Bowl) and how Woz was going to pay for HALF the air time.

Man, say what you want about Apple, but they're the guys in the drivers seat. Woz rules.

And so does Ridley Scott. C'mon, we HAVE to forgive his misfires, right? Like the last 10 minutes of Matchstick Men. Or anything he made in the '90s.
