Remembering 1984 With The Mac 128K, Apple //c, & Education Ad (With Pics)

As part of our series of articles remembering the early days of Apple, the Mac, and computing we bring you two more great ads from Apple. Observer Charles Mangin has sent us several vintage Apple ads (and a really great Microsoft ad from 1983 we will share with you later :-), including these two ads from the April 1984 issue of Byte magazine. They feature the original Mac (128K) and the Apple //c. According to Mr. Mangin:

The first spread is another inside cover spread from April 1984is BYTE magazine, touting the original Macintoshis "blindingly fast" 68000 processor, its 32-bit Lisa Technology, and its "built in polyphonic sound generator" capable of speaking in any language (like Yiddish or Serbo-Croatian). Fun.
