This video was made by the boys at Apple.

no, i think that would push me over the edge, such a depressing song, which while good for my funeral, would even render an alcho in a bottle shop blue.

It has that Winsongs 95 vibe to it, if you know what I mean.

They were dancing next to a sign I was standing next to today. I feel as if I've been infected.
Apparently, I'm a sig violator. I feel honored. Oops.

What a stupid video.

Amazing how all of the hopes of the clone era turned out to be nightmares. Who ever made this really thought the PC was doomed 'cause of Mac cloning.

I loved all of the Intel slams... who would have guessed that in 10 years Macs would be running on them.

Someone check if it's mentioned in the scrolling texts in Winsongs? (I've had enough of them, thanks.)

Jobs would not have been in charge for this. I would say this was made in 94 or 95.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

He probably "never quite made it" from the OS 9 to OS X team or something.

Neat historical hardware and historical references.

Lisa was in there, even. Sculley, Jean Louis GasseƩ, and little heard of CEO Mike Spindler even got a mention.
