Very cool. I actually picked up a beautiful 128k from the side of the road the other day. Still boots too. Leave it to Apple to make products that still work 24 years later.
Love the videos...been going through every single Mac related one! My family got our first Macintosh IIci when I was 2 years old (1989) and played many games of Doom on that thing.
By the way, $8000 in 1991 is worth about $13,000 today, just in case anyone is reading this. :P
Al, you're taking me back to the good old days. I remember in 1983/4? when I lived in Japan. Apple was marketed by Canon in those days. You'd get an appointment to see the mac and they'd usher you into this office with the tiny little 128k Mac sitting on the table. The graphical environment blew my mind--I had an Apple ][ at the time. They then proceeded to sell me the $10,000 Lisa developer system. Sigh!
I'm hogging this stuff. What song was playing in the background at the end? I like the 80's drums.
Anyways, these videos are all pure entertainment. Worth more than hours of good HBO programming. Looking forward for more "old" vintage footage captured before my days. Definitely five stars!
Never owned a Mac or Apple related product (except the iPod), but have toyed with them in the past and if I could afford one (times are EXTREMELY tough right now), I'd get one in a heartbeat. But I guess I'll just have to stick with my Windows XP-based PC (Vista really sucks, though. But SOMEDAY I will own an Apple computer!).
i love how you have been blogging for years even before it was 'the rage' and now you have all this great footage. you are by far one of the funniest people on youtube. I love it :) & i love all your videos
Hey by any chance, would you happen to have the os to that machine. I have a classic 2 or one of those that looks like that but unfortunately it doesn't have an os. Now correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't have a hdd right? It's in perfect shape cosmetically and works up until it needs an os so I really don't want to open it to find out.
haha "the power to look your worst". Classic Al material. I know I've been bitching about it for the past two videos, but WHERE IN THE HELL is the NeXTCube video? I imagine it probably got eaten by alligators, just predicting from your local geography...
nice one keep the videos coming al & i just put a wifi card on my Power Macintosh G3 stole it from my Windows/Linux PC lol and i was stupid found out that when i ran 10.3.9 all i had to do to get it to work was update the airport software oh well the card just worked with 10.4 i hope when i update to 10.4.11 it still works
I've got some old MacWorld convention videos somewhere in my archive. Perhaps I will post them here if I'm able to dig them out... Is there any interest in them?
LOL, great video Al, I couldn't stop laughing at the footage from '91. I wasn't even born yet. I collect new and vintage (junk) records, so I know those "ant piss stains" all too well. Keep the videos coming!
Macintosh. The power, to look your worst.
ROFL.
