Apple's 1984 spoof of 'Ghostbusters' goes after IBM

This is a 4-minute, uncut version of "Blue Busters", a 1984 takeoff on 'Ghostbusters' that Apple produced to show at the opening of its worldwide sales staff meeting in Hawaii in October 1984. The video includes a cameo appearance by Steve Wozniak. Our thanks to Craig Elliott, former Apple employee now CEO and co-founder of cloud-computing startup Pertino Networks, for giving us access to this video.

Also shown at that meeting was another film in which Steve Jobs impersonates FDR. That film can be seen here:
