30 years of Apple video

A brave soul who cares not for bandwidth charges has put together a video that celebrates 30 years of Apple by taking a visual tour of Apple's advertising over the years.

Highlights include the Lisa ad featuring Kevin Costner, the 1984 ad (natch, though it is the version with the iPod digitally added in), and the Apple - Intel ad. Sadly, the Sage iMac ad featuring Kermit the Frog singing 'It's not Easy being green,' isn't featured.

The song is "Sing Sing Sing (with a swing)" ( http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=79428531&s=143441&i=79428876 ), originally by Benny Goodman, but that version is probably any number of remakes that exist since it has a bit more fidelity than any old version out there.

MacTV appears to have virtually all of the Apple ads. You can download them from iTMS as video podcasts.

Not only is Apple the only compnay that makes you want absolutely everything they make,
but there ad's are actually good as well.
