It seems that someone took a video (on Betamax!) of the first introductory presentation of the Macintosh by Steve Jobs. That was back in January of 1984, as you will recall unless you’re not enough of a computer geek to have that date etched in your brain. Someone recently found that tape, digitized it, and now it’s available for viewing on the web. It’s pretty amazing to see 1) how young Steve Jobs was at the time, 2) how tacky his suit was at the time, 3) Steve Jobs in not only a tacky suit but also a bow tie, and 4) how you could actually boot a computer from one floppy disk and have it do something useful.
