The Monday Morning Memo

 

These are the 1997 ads that saved Apple.
This version of the TV ad (below) – narrated by Jobs himself – never aired.
The ad that aired was voiced by Richard Dreyfuss.

You’ll notice that it’s not about the Apple Macintosh computer,
but about the kind of person who would use one.

The people listed in the ad, in the order of their appearance, are Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon with Yoko Ono, Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson with Kermit the Frog, Frank Lloyd Wright and Pablo Picasso.

Random Quote:

“Cheylard scrapes together halfpence for the darkened souls in Edinburgh; while Balquidder and Dunrossness bemoan the ignorance of Rome. Thus, to the high entertainment of the angels, do we pelt one another with evangelists, like schoolboys bickering in the snow.”

- Robert Louis Stevenson, Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes (1878) p. 48
