When I still in high school in the early 1990's I always walked past two nerd kids who were arguing loudly with each other about whether macs or pc's were better. They both would have whacked this guy over the head with a rolling pin for being so irritating.
@nicdem25 you must remember that this was created during the dark ages of apple...the period when steve jobs was fired...he came back in 1998, and the ipod came out in 2001...
Not worth it, listening to some guy in a suit drone on about some computer so old it's creepy for 7 minutes... TOTAL FAIL! But still something very amusing about it...
Imagine all the money people wasted back then. anyway this is funny, I dont mac back then could be anything but boring. And win95, Im using 98se because with all the right mods it can do almost anything and very fast. But anything below is useless in my opinion
This salesman is speaking total BS. I was doing uni mathematics in 1996. An Apple could not crunch numbers at all for say, optimization software that came with a uni textbook. You could not pass a uni degree in applied mathematics using only an Apple computer in 1996; I KNOW because I WAS IN that position as a maths student. So, I used a Windows PC for maths and the software in your maths textbook ONLY worked with a Windows PC.
@element271 Google's made incredible progress with Voice recognition and marries up very well with Android. Of course, Jobs launched his stupid "thermonuclear war" against them. Maybe Google should sue apple for using anything of google in their OS.
This kind of shows how Apple just missed the boat. To this day the company can not let the total package mind set go, and in the end that limits the use of the platform. Windows is starting to adopt that and it wont help MS.
MS Win is and probably will always be a cross computer platform compatible OS, but the flirting with the all-in-one software and hardware package known as xbox could lead MS on different thoughts. Besides, its bloody expensive. I myself is just waiting for Canonical's Ubuntu (or one of the other Linux distros) to catch on enough to gain attention from high end 3rd party software devs. Until then, I'm dual booting.
@saxojon I was referring more to the it must do it out of the box if at all mentality.. Windows is bring more and more stuff in. In fact come Win 8 it is against the EULA to change the shell. That is a very Mac like attitude. The point is not the shape of the package but the limitations of what you or a developer can make the package. No platform gets the correct for 100% of users, the true straight is what can the box become, not what is the box at this moment.
ok now im impresed about the things that were pposible back then i tried runing win95 on my wii and sound was terrible but to see this im impresed by mac
It does matter. You appletards always have to rewrite history in your favour. If it's not so important to you appletards then why brainwash the media and the general public saying Steve Jobs created the GUI,and the mouse, and the cellphone and everything else. Why? Because you want your precious Saviour to be more than he really was which was nothing more than the biggest asshole in the world.
And for the record I live on my own and have done so for 12 years now.
@snake2006 That's alright. You don't need to buy any of the products. Unfortunately, there are people like yourself that waste there own time insulting those that praise Apple products. It really doesn't matter if they didn't invent the GUI or Mouse. (Only the ignorant think Apple invented them. Apple never claimed to inventing these products) However, I pretty sure your among the ignorant ones that claim that Apple do not revolutionize the market. Your just as bad as the so called fanboys.
It's a Cult no a religion. Apple has got the world so brainwashed now that when Jobs died they began to give him credit for things he didn't even do. Like creating the first GUI which HE DID NOT, creating the mouse AGAIN HE DIDN'T. According to the news media cell phones didn't exist before iPhone. The cult is so bad that they are attempting to rewrite history in their favour. Next they will say Hitler was Apple's biggest supporter, that is how fucked up Appletards are.
It is a cult. Look up people like iJustine on this site alone. They take their apple fandom to the most retarted level. Look at the idiots who line up and sleep outside in the cold and rain just to get a fucking iPad or iPhone. Look when Steve Jobs died, you had fucking idiots buying extra apple stuff JUST TO LEAVE IT OUTSIDE Apple HQ as memorials.
It's a fucking cult. Look up people like Apple Soldier on this site. They are brainwashed.
@snake2006 I'm pretty sure you are also describing Microsoft about 15 years ago. Being devote to a product or person is merely subjective. If it isn't obvious to you yet. Than you are clearly thick.
@snake2006 One day you'll wake up and see how much Apple has done to the computing industry. By the way the argument Mac vs PC is over, use whatever you like, no one care.
@snake2006 Fortunatly, Apple was the only company that invested in Xerox at the time. If it wasn't for Apple implementing the GUI or Mouse. Companies would of never touched what would of been known as a 'Gold Mine'. On a side note. C64 is not the best selling computer to date. It used to be in the 80's.
Go check the Guniess Book of records right now. The best selling computer is STILL the Commodore 64 with 30 million units.
It still holds the record. Facts are facts.
Also Steve Miner was working on a GUI for the Amiga platform which debuted 1 year later, and Jack Trailmel was doing the same at Atari for the Atari ST. If Apple didn't do it first in the personal market the other 2 companies would have. So once again you appletards are changing facts as usual.
@snake2006 Need to check that fact out (Best selling computer). The simple fact is that that Amiga came later. You can't just say "If Apple didn't do it first..." your just contradicting yourself. "Fact are facts". Apple did it. That is all. In no way does it make them superior either.The huge Apple fan base are not concerned about numbers and figures of the past. Apple don't make crap. Get your head out of your ass. It's a company. Your just as bad as the ranting fanboys.
@snake2006 In fact we saw how well these other company have done in the past 2 decades. So now you say "if Apple didn't do it first" someone else would have done it so they have no merit; but when some other company would have done it first they have all the merit? So once again we can tell how narrow minded you are.
@snake2006 Apple may have not done anything first. The innovation we all talk about is that they had taken the risk to bring some of these things to the masses. If you ever read the Innovator Dilemma - and maybe stop the hating - you could understand that sometime innovation is not just pioneering something but also implementing them in the market.
I never said that they created anything, and that Apple has never influenced anything is the biggest lie you could tell to yourself. Your rage make you blind.
Apple influenced nothing. Commodore had more of a influence than Apple ever has.
Commodore made computing mainstream and easy to use. Commodore 64 was the first home computer to have built in sprite capabilities and a built in dedicated sound chip called the SID chip.
Commodore 64 started the homebrew scene on a massive scale.
Allot of todays game designers started with a Commodore computer. Linus Torvald of Linux fame started with a Vic 20.
Once again WRONG. The first successful PC is the Commodore Vic 20 which the first computer to sell 1 million units. The Commodore 64 is the computer which ushered in home computing in the first place,with a affordable computer and one of the most powerful ones to boot. It had 64k Ram standard while the Apple II came with 48k expandable to 64k. It had little sprite capabilities and poor sound. While the C64 came with the SID chip and sprite capabilities with the Vic II.
I am going to continue my war on Mac till all your god damn morons WAKE UP.
It's time to put that cult to bed. The sooner Apple dies the better, and they are well on their way now, since their savior can't save them this time.
@snake2006 I presume you like companies that monopolize markets and have a great control over there consumers. No thank you. I'd like Apple to stay in the game. They begin trends and revolutionize the product market. The fact that Apple is around means that others must be competitive. Please go back to school.
I don't know where I saw this video, but this was the video that convinced me to buy a Powercomputing Clone Mac.in 1997 -- you have to admit, although dry, very thorough in it's info.
@pcpik3r What is the difference honestly? There are PCs worse than a Mac. There are Macs worse than a PC. I am a PC fan, but really don't start this shit because technology retards will come in saying Mac is better, when it's a fucking operating system, so Windows can't be better than Mac, Mac can't be better than Windows. It depends on what your specs are...
There were significant hardware differences. People often say no one buys a platform because of hardware, but that's never been true - still isn't true today. Macintosh was a great OS on top of great architecture, but my favorites back then remain the Silicon Graphics computers and the Amiga. When it came to 3D and video, Win/Mac were okay. I used mostly 3D Studio on DOS, then Lightwave and resisted the jump to 3D Studio Max. Amiga was just the best.
Apple did all those Mac vs PC commercials and I wondered where they got the PC guy. After watching this video, I now know. He was a Mac guy first. This is the PC guy or his twin brother..LOL
The most amusing part of this video was how they mentioned you can write documents on a Win95 or IBM compatible PC and transfer it to an Apple computer but not the other way around. By the way, this wouldn't have been so easy for Apple if they wouldn't have shoved lawsuits so far up Bill Gate's ass that he offered continued Office for Macintosh.
I don't hate Macintosh computers, I loved OS 7-9 but you can tell Apple was being desperate in this video.
In a way, the mid nineties were the best time to be a mac fan. You KNEW you had the best operating systems available at the time, but yet the masses rejected them and you were a tiny minority if you went Mac. You really had to believe to keep the company afloat. This old video reminded me how I use to say those same things to get my family on board with Apple. Thankfully Steve Jobs came back and made videos like this unnecessary.
The funny thing is that Windows 95 clobbered the Mac even with those 'extra' features. Speech recognition was a joke, and that 3D app was a gimmick at best.
@ipeters61 Sure you could. I did. DOS compatibility card, and a handful of early virtualization programs. There certainly wasn't any Windows virtualization programs available back then.
@ipeters61 no, you couldn't because Mac used PowerPC processors and PC used Intel ones, so absolutely incompatibles. And the PowerPC processor was too way complex to be emulated at all on Intels (it took years)
While I sit here typing on a mac mini running Lion, (Snow Leopard being the best OS ever) It is amazing how much things have changed just in the last decade.
@EvilUncleFrank Because at this point of history another human-PC had fired steve jobs and as a result apple where.... kind of lost in the lameness forest, or where until jobs came back
Apple was run by fat Gill Amelio at that time and getting close to bankruptcy. Steve Jobs came back in 1997 when Gill bought NeXT, and Steve saved Apple and made it great once again.
But now you can have Windows AND Mac OS running on the SAME processor! Otherwise...it would take 2 big heatsinks in your tower, a power supply good enough to handle everything smoothly, and those 2 CPUs will probably output a lot of heat!
That actually is Steve Jobs.. he went to Disney and asked them to give him a makeover and one of Eisner's old suits. He then snuck onto the Cupertino campus and made this promo video.
Hey, I just have to give Apple a thumbs-up for selling their systems based on its tangible functionality, even providing a direct comparison against windows, rather than trying to sell you on "it looks cooler" or "you'll be hip, just like all the cool people." If I had seen this ad growing up, I might have actually ended up going with Apple as my system of choice.

In a way, the mid nineties were the best time to be a mac fan. You KNEW you had the best operating systems available at the time, but yet the masses rejected them and you were a tiny minority if you went Mac. You really had to believe to keep the company afloat. This old video reminded me how I use to say those same things to get my family on board with Apple. Thankfully Steve Jobs came back and made videos like this unnecessary.

The funny thing is that Windows 95 clobbered the Mac even with those 'extra' features. Speech recognition was a joke, and that 3D app was a gimmick at best.

@ipeters61 Sure you could. I did. DOS compatibility card, and a handful of early virtualization programs. There certainly wasn't any Windows virtualization programs available back then.

iToasterman 2 months ago
@ipeters61 no, you couldn't because Mac used PowerPC processors and PC used Intel ones, so absolutely incompatibles. And the PowerPC processor was too way complex to be emulated at all on Intels (it took years)

Apple was run by fat Gill Amelio at that time and getting close to bankruptcy. Steve Jobs came back in 1997 when Gill bought NeXT, and Steve saved Apple and made it great once again.

But now you can have Windows AND Mac OS running on the SAME processor! Otherwise...it would take 2 big heatsinks in your tower, a power supply good enough to handle everything smoothly, and those 2 CPUs will probably output a lot of heat!

Hey, I just have to give Apple a thumbs-up for selling their systems based on its tangible functionality, even providing a direct comparison against windows, rather than trying to sell you on "it looks cooler" or "you'll be hip, just like all the cool people." If I had seen this ad growing up, I might have actually ended up going with Apple as my system of choice.
