Everyone should see this, one of best portions on all the DVDs.
• Mission Impossible commercial with Tom Cruise highlighting the fast new PowerBook, 4 rarely seen Apple Education commercials, and the "classic" of Windows95 being used in a presentation, when Windows messes up, plenty of ideas are given to the befuddled user, then "Get a Mac" is shouted from the audience. Great stuff.
