[Apple History <nospam@mac.com>]

This may interest some, it's rare look into the making of Apple's "1984" 
commercial, plus rare tape of Douglas Adams showing off the PowerBook 
Duo. 94 Minute DVD. more info here:

� The Making of "1984". Rather amazing video covering the behind the 
scenes work of Apple's famous 1984 commercial. Lee Clow of Chiat/Day 
talks of his first visit with Burrell, Andy and Steve. Ridley Scott of 
Blade Runner and BBC fame is interviewed on how it was filmed, how they 
hired 150 skinheads, how they arrived at using an Athlete for the 
Sledgehammer toss, at... "Karl Marx". Other great info, they bought 
three Airplanes, then used them for props, 474 engines are on the back 
walls, also notice the Mac Introduction was scheduled for January 19th, 
not January 24th. Filmed at Sheperton Studios, London. Full Screen 
Versions of 1984. Exceedingly Interesting.

� The late Douglas Adams gives us a tour of the recently announced 
PowerBook Duo. He begins with his vision of a computing device he 
concieved for Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy, then walks us through how 
the new Duo has become this device. Well done by a famous Mac User.
