An old Ad. from Apple



I started writing my blogs in Chinese recently. It looks good, however, to translate some of them in to English...

The ad. I'm talking about can be found at:
http://www.uriah.com/apple-qt/1984.html
or http://www.uriahcarpenter.info/movies/Apple.1984.mov

There is an entry on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_(television_commercial)


I feel that Apple is really very creative and ambitious. The same feeling was from Hu Shih's diary (not dairy) too:

"You shall know the difference now that we are back again"
Iliad,xviii,I.125.

Considering there was no Internet and search engines in 1917, I am really admiring him that he could find the motto and copied it.

It's a pity that the market of Apple is not as good as the Ad. Otherwise, I am being able to use an apple product to write the blog. In fact, I don't care which product from apple to be used: iMap, MacBook or an iPod...
