Test Your TV Age: Remember These Apple Ads?

By Jeffrey Mincey • Wednesday, October 18, 2006 • Home » YouTube Watch »

Newton One of the cool things about the digital age is YouTube. Finally, there’s a place with a video clip of everything Apple.

What’s your favorite Apple TV commercial? “Who is Newton?” Or, “!984?”

How about a fake Apple Mac TV commercial? There were plenty of those through the years.

One of my favorites is the “Who is Newton?” Newton? You didn’t have a Newton?

Newtons are still running here and there and there’s yet to be handheld (if you can call a Newton a handheld device) with as many cool features over 10 years later.

Remember when the PowerBook was first introduced in the early 1990s? For a few years, the PowerBook line was the top selling laptop, Mac or PC.

PowerBook TV commercials where everywhere.

One of my all time favorites is Macintosh tech support. The background noise is distinctly tech support for Windows; constant confusion.

The Mac tech support specialist finally receives a phone call.
