Insanely Great: The Apple Mac at 40

In January 1984, Steve Jobs unveiled the Apple Macintosh, an "insanely great" computer "for the rest of us" that changed the world—and Apple itself.

Moderated by tech journalist and author David Pogue, this anniversary event included three panels focused on the development, marketing and impact of the Mac.

Panel 1 (3:59): Mac Development Team members Bill Atkinson, Steve Capps, Andy Hertzfeld, and Bruce Horn, and creator of the Mac icons and fonts Susan Kare. 

Panel 2 (39:00): Marketing team members Andy Cunningham, Dan’l Lewin, and Mike Murray.

Panel 3 (1:06:57): Mac’s impact with the longest-serving Apple employee, Chris Espinosa, former Apple Chief Evangelist Guy Kawasaki, and tech journalist Steven Levy

This event was recorded live on January 24, 2024 (The Mac's 40th anniversary) at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View California. To watch a video of this program, please visit the Computer History Museum's YouTube channel.
