The computer that Steve Jobs said was "insanely great" is turning 40 years old.

On Jan. 24, 1984, Apple announced its new Macintosh computer in a “1984” George Orwell themed Super Bowl commercial that aired only once.

The Computer History Museum in Mountain View is honoring the technological achievement with a special exhibit and event.
