Fantastic Apple Historical DVD's
We were stunned to see the amount of rare video content on these five compilation DVD's featuring early footage, most never seen by the general public. They are available for purchase at the link below, and every Apple fan interested in Apple History (and you wouldn't be reading this if you weren't) absolutely MUST check them out! Really an amazing collection that you will never again find available in one place. Thank you to Andrew for giving us this link to his eBay store!

The Mothership Crew Winter Vacation
Next week the entire Mothership crew will be taking our annual holiday break. There will be no updates next week unless we go temporarily insane and find an online computer in a quite spot in the Bahamas and can put down the umbrella drinks long enough. See you when we return, and remember - play nice!

Apple Commercials and Videos
We get lots and lots and...lots of requests for Apple television commercials. We don't do that. Stick with what you're good at - that's what mom always said! Anyway, here is a link to dozens of Apple commercials and promo videos from days gone by. Get 'em while the lawyers still don't know about 'em.
