Round 2 of Apple's Lost '1984' Series

webertk421 writes "The second set of lost 1984 videos has been released. This set again needs more mirrors (I still can't download the torrent files). According to the descriptions, the clips include Steve Jobs reciting some Dylan, showing the well known 1984 commercial, and 'Manuals,' another commercial that almost aired instead."

    Damnit. Saw Dylan, thought of the programming language. I need to get out more.

    I remember seeing this video during high school computing, probably in around 1994 or 1995. I had my powerbook (145!) with me that day, and recorded the bit of steve saying "IBM wants it all and it's aiming its guns at its last rival, Apple". I found the disks with it on a few days ago, but alas, I am still an Apple geek and now I don't have a floppy drive :)

    Thats a bit rich coming from someone who is worshipping a COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENT for a FOR-PROFIT company. I mean come on, folks, Apple doesn't give a rats ass except that you buy their products.
    Good point! We should all sell our BMWs and buy used Kias. Then we should sell our PowerBooks and ThinkPads and buy used Avertecs.

    Oh, but wait, Kia and Avertec are in business to make money too! Ack!

    Quick, who has the detailed instructions for building an EasyBake Chip Fab??

    Let's see, according to the submitter of the story, the page is already suffering from heavy traffic usage... yeah, let's put that on the front page of slashdot! That'll help. :-)
