Apple Computers in 1997
In 1987, Apple put together this stunning video of Apple in 1997, as if Marty & the Doc went to the future and brought it back on VHS. Includes the Apple Therapist, trendy computer sunglasses with a tiny floppy disk, and a cameo of the ’97 version of Steve Wozniak…but no Steve Jobs…? I found...

Van Gogh Mouse
I usually don’t have an affinitity for tiny plush animals in some kind of novelty garb, but this was too funny/weird/cute to not say something about it.
