Sour Apple

The hammer arcs through the air and crashes into the monitor -- it explodes into light and wind. The drones' blank expressions have turned to slack-jawed amazement, and an announcer says: "On Jan. 24, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like '1984.'"
