Today, January 22, in 1984 the Apple Computer company first introduced
the Macintosh computer during Super Bowl XVIII with its groundbreaking 
"1984" television commercial. It was directed by Ridley Scott, and its 
only U.S. daytime television broadcast was today in 1984 during and at
the third quarter of the 1984 Super Bowl game.

 "Originally a subject of contention within Apple it has nevertheless
 consistently been lauded as a classic, winning critical acclaim over
 time.  It is now considered a watershed event, and, a masterpiece in
 advertising, and is widely regarded as one of the most memorable and
 successful American television commercials of all time."


Here's a young Steve Jobs in the 1983 Apple Keynote Address, where he
introduced this first Macintosh advertisement for the first Macintosh:
