Happy 22nd Birthday, Macintosh!

Yep...it was this very day, 22 years ago, when we learned why "1984 won't be like 1984". The now-mythic Super Bowl ad that introduced the Mac also introduced us to the idea of commercials during the big game as an event unto themselves. But, at the core of it all, was this new computer. Small. Personal. And with some new pointing device called a "mouse". MacDailyNews has a great article on the commemoration, with links to the "1984" commercial and a true rarity -- a movie where a very young Steve Jobs introduces the Mac at Cupertino's Flint Center.

So, happy birthday, Mac...and many more!
