The Macintosh introduction, a television commercial called
"1984," is considered by some the greatest ad of all time...
Ridley Scott directed this Orwellian nightmare of
             tyranny and enslavement, suggesting the Big Brother and IBM were one and the
             same. Chiat/Day had difficulty selling it to Apple Computer, but the reluctant client
             relented for one spot on the Super Bowl and the Macintosh revolution was begun.
