The Lost 1984 Mac Video

Posted by michael on from the chariots-of-fire dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Never seen video footage of the introduction of the Macintosh in January 1984 was published for the first time on the Internet today. Renowned Mac user Scott Knaster kept that Betamax video tape for 21 years, and German media agency TextLab has unearthed this only surviving video tape of the launch." They could probably use more mirrors for the 22MB movie.

    I, here in the good'ol US of A, have been marked down a few times on my papers at school because of "learnt". The sad thing is, I was in a graduate program that I just finished. And yes, it was a MBA program - thank-you-very-much.
    My classmates being mostly people who have english as a second language, thought that was perfectly fine. I having my favorite magazine being British (Economist), also thought "learnt" was perfectly fine. But my completely ignorant "American" professor took points off of our team paper.

    my Point I don't have one. I need help getting a point. I learnt that everything is a team project in MBA school and I can't have an original thought!
