It's the 25th anniversary of the Apple Macintosh, but Steve Jobs' eyes are dry. At the company headquarters in Silicon Valley, where he was presenting a set of new laptops to the press last October, I mentioned the birthday to him. Jobs recoiled at any suggestion of nostalgia. "I don't think about that," he said. "When I got back here in 1997, I was looking for more room, and I found an archive of old Macs and other stuff. I said, 'Get it away!' and I shipped all that shit off to Stanford. If you look backward in this business, you'll be crushed. You have to look forward."

What a horrible quote. Never forget your roots/beginnings.

It's good to remember your history but in business you can't go forward if you remain fixed on it.

I will agree with that statement. Although sometimes it can be a fun marketing gimmick.

Out of all the commercials they have

is still the most memorable to me and many others.

Hopefully, no Macs are out there bingeRAMming.
