001: 1984 Won’t Be Like "1984" (The First Macintosh)

With a valuation of over 2 trillion dollars, and a world-wide
iconic brand, Apple is arguably the most successful and
influential company in history. However, the early days of the
Macintosh were rough, and Steve Jobs left the company when the
Mac was merely a year old. Today, Krazy Ken and Brad recap some
of the earliest Apple keynotes, including the Macintosh's first
public demo at the Flint Center on January 24, 1984.
