I remember graduating in the mid-90's and the library had only 1 computer with a 15K modem for internet access and was reserved for special research projects.
It looks stupid for young people of 2011, but things like Panorama (and within the browser!) and Streaming were very clever and impressive. Everybody were having a that "wow!" expression on their face when they saw them.
MIDI indeed was ideal because of the bandwith (speed rate) we had at that time.
This was the time when downloading a MP3 file "for free" on the Internet took 3 hours and hence cost more than buying the CD at your local store!
sonovabitch! apple was the one that was responsible for all those crappy midi files you couldn't turn off on web pages!!!! gah!! they really were crapple back then!
@kytbrdr I'm glad they got rid of those extra features QuickTime had, since they are no longer necessary. But yeah, in 1996, that was pretty friggin' awesome. :)

You can figure out this was in the "Steve Jobs away" period when he says "low-end PowerPC"

at 0:13 you hear someone say "hmm, go back there...", does he get instructions or what?

I never knew quicktime was the first to allow partially downloaded videos to play. Thats something we use everyday now, look at youtube.

Stuff hasn't changed much at all since 1996, except for computer speed and storage size.

So Quicktime was, in essence, the first program to stream internet video. Pretty impressive considering it was only 1996.
