Apple 'software wizard' unveils rare original Macintosh ad
Andy Hertzfeld, who worked with Apple in the early 1980s as a "software wizard," has posted a previously-unreleased commercial for the original Macintosh via his Google+ page, as reported by 9to5Mac.

The commercial was only ever made available to select dealers, so if you'd like a chance to see one of Apple's first private attempt at patting itself on the back, the video below is full of the company's aspirational youth.
