The reason for Apple’s success? Cats, obviously.

Proving that it was years ahead of its time, Apple had the good sense to put a cat in this Ad from 1981. Everyone thinks that Apple’s success stems from more recent activity. But I’d be willing to bet that it can all be tracked back to their visionary, pre-internet use of cats.

It’s a nice ad about how Apple dealers replaced the roasted keyboard and screen of this computer. From this incredible archive of old Apple print ads: http://www.aresluna.org/attached/computerhistory/ads/international/apple

I particularly like the ‘how stuff works’ approach…
