Does anyone know where I might find the speech given by the talking head
in the (in)famous 1984 Macintosh commercial? And, is this some historic
speech (from Orwell's 1984?), or was it written and conceived for the
commercial? I've only been able to catch bits of some great lines (if
I'm even remembering them correctly, which I doubt), such as 'our
enemies shall drown themselves in their own confusion', and a bit about
'one voice, one vision', etc. I do not mean to start an OS war or any
banner waving, I just liked the commercial's sense of theater. Altavista
returns 26220 hits for a search in English on +macintosh +1984. Adding
+speech only reduced that number to 4345. Searching the web for this one
has yielded more unusable links to download this commercial than answers
(but I'm not really looking to download the commercial).
