Steve Jobs pulled a small beige box out of a bag on stage, and it introduced itself to the audience in a synthesised voice.
The advertisement two days earlier ran once, during the Super Bowl, and Apple's own board had tried to cancel it. The machine had 128 kilobytes of memory, no hard disk, and a mouse, which most of the people in the room had never used.
