Old Mac Ads - Image 1 Old Mac Ads - Image 2 Old Mac Ads - Image 3 


We have featured the latest Apple ad - the one with the cute and nerdy guy. Apple is widely known as an innovative company who never seems to run out of good ideas, be it for products or for ads. That is why it isn't so surprising that a website was made to comemmorate all those great Mac ads of yesteryear.

Remember those "Where is Newton?" Mac Ads, or that ad where NBA great Kareem Abdul Jabbar was in a coach flight with his PowerBook? Maybe you aren't familiar with that deaf, Oscar-winning actress from "Children of a Lesser God", Marlee Matlin, and her Mac commercial? The other half of the Eurythmics duo, Dave Stewart, also had his share of Mac commercials.

Personally, I find this site (hosted by the Penn State Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, thanks heaps guys) very amusing because I could still remember actually having watched some of these ads. It's as if I'm 9 years old again and I'm watching TV with my Dad while he's getting his everyday dose of CNN or BBC. So go ahead and watch them; it's nice to look back and be nostalgic at times.
