Normally you don't see company videos bragging about how the next 10 years would bring nothing but glory and success. In reality, it was interesting how the timeframe they predicted in reality actually resulted in the near bankruptcy of Apple but now it's gone full circle and their predictions were just 15-20 years off.
Oh yeah, the juxtaposition between the hubris in the video and what actually transpired is amazing. Makes you wonder if it could happen again....I’m sure it could.
