Dialog

Steve Jobs Today, for the first time ever, I'd like to let Macintosh speak for itself.
Macintosh (voice) Hello. I am Macintosh. It sure is great to get out of that bag.
Tech Journalist Steve—can you explain how this voice synthesis works? Is this really coming from the computer itself?
Apple Engineer It's all in the ROM—we've packed 64K of pure power into this baby. The voice is just the beginning.
Steve Jobs What we have here is something insanely great. A computer so intuitive, your grandmother could use it.
Tech Journalist But at $2,495—how do you respond to critics who say this is just a toy for rich hobbyists?
Steve Jobs In 1978, they said the same thing about the Apple II. Today we're not just selling computers—we're selling the future.
