Because we should remember milestones

I saw the ad when it was originally broadcast. I didn't own a computer, and didn't want to. Only 5 or 6 years later did I see a place for a computer in my life, and there was no hesitation: it had to be a Mac. It was, and so has every one since then.

"The computer for the rest of us" was one of the most accurate slogans I've ever heard. The thing that makes the commercial iconic, NOT ironic is that IBM and DOS were Big Brother before the Mac. Apple has some unique business practices, but they don't pressure you to become one of the majority. They simply make a beautiful product. Beautiful, not perfect, but light years ahead of "the other guys".
