Apple started 1984 with a bang. The Macintosh was finished, and it was well received by the general public, largely due to a highly successful advertising campaign beginning with the 1984 ad. One year later, Apple was not nearly as successful. Steve Jobs wanted to kick off the Macintosh Office project, essentially a Macintosh network, with a similarly grandiose Super Bowl ad titled Lemmings. The ad was a major flop and set the tone for the most disastrous year in Apple history.
Though Steve Jobs founded Apple in 1976, he left in 1985 amid a power struggle. In 1996, Jobs returned when Apple bought his company NeXt. Here, he announces plans to shake the company out of the financial doldrums on Nov. 10, 1997, in Cupertino, Calif. Photograph by John G. Mabanglo/AFP/Getty Images.
