Cute advertisement from Apple

[WinXPwhiz]

I recently bought a slot loading model off of ebay. It freakin arrived broken. The CRT was intact but the case was cracked up on 6 places. I plugged it in and it WORKED!! So all you apple haters who think apple products are delicate can eat my sh*t!

[allaforyou]

[gMemo92]

Step 4: You just realized that you bought a Apple II Computer from the 70's and payed 700 for it. And the year is 2011.

Step 5: You cry and cry and cry. Because you wanted a PC running Crysis not a MAC!!!

[Yangwatanabe]

Of course there's a step 3!: Turn on your computer, duh!

[BarryDennen12]

Step 3 : Hack into the UFO's main computer.

[emmalunajackson33]

step 3: polka-dot it

[jacklambertwilson]

When I was in high school they struggled with budget issues, complained they weren't paid enough from the local/.state/federal government.. yet every computer in the library/classrooms was one of these.

The students complained because they didn't have the usability of Windows.. and the school had budget issues.. yet went on buying less capable, more expensive Macintosh computers.. I still shake my head to this day.

[funkgerat]

Step 3: Spend 3 hours on the phone trying to explain that there is no start button, and that you just need your PPP login details.

[PizzaBlade17]

step 3: FUCK A GOAT =D

[almann1117]

It's never easy

[IanEduardoMeneses]

Step 3: Turn on the computer. duh.

[applefreak441]

@karimn97 fuck you !

[karimn97]

STEP 3 IS TO PRAISE YOURSELF FOR BUYING A MAC.

[crocodile2006]

I'm pretty sure there is a step 3.

Didn't even setup the dial-up connection!

[mst3kanita]

@crocodile2006 yeah lol that part always bugged me growing up, lol.

[davedecay]

Step 3: relax knowing you don't have to deal with malware that Windows users are plagued with on a daily basis.

[AnkitMichael]

:) 

[vahnfish]

He sounds insane, "Step 3 *maniacal laughter* there's no step 3"

[WardahTheBlaqQ]

Step 66: Format every iMac, PC, laptop, powerbook, cellphone, PC tablet, iPad and any other computer-derived machine you've got and slap Arch Linux on it :). Just sayin', peace y'all!

[camerakid76]

RIP Steve Jobs

[pikadominator666]

13 years after this was shown..... the founder of apple is now dead. r.i.p. steve jobs.

[flightdeckreviews]

lol we had old iMacs at school from around kindergarten-3 or 4 grade. Then they got the regular macs at about 4-5 grade. Im in middle school now. The have PCs.

[packernicholas]

@TheMrkingdomhearts Step 12: Throu out that crappy windows 7 laptop and get a Mac Pro

[DaveTube24]

@packernicholas Step 13: Install boot camp and install windows 7 + ubuntu

[MattTheSaiyan]

Those old iMacs...in terms of case design, are much more stylish than the current Apple computers...

[element1108]

@MattTheSaiyan I respectfully disagree, current ones are MUCH nicer/cleaner and occupy less space ;). Respect to the process and power of design though. 1999 was an ugly time for computers (and majority of computer users were still considered to be "geeks")

[1goldenchongo2]

Lol filled with bullshit

[Edbrad]

this was when Windows was a lot more filled with bullshit and Apple "just worked"

[CloverQuips]

This spokesman's voice sounds like Jeff Goldblum

[HardyHarz]

@CloverQuips There's a good reason for that.

[CloverQuips]

@HardyHarz Don't tell me it is? nice!

[tiga2001]

don't you have to connect the mouse and keyboard?

[paperman990]

Funny cuz at the very same moment the Mac screen was showing "Say hello to iMac", my iTunes just switched to the dance song "Hello" by Martin Solveig featuring Dragonette.

[chucknorris687]

[RoystonScholar]

You still need to init the modem and shtuff with a modem cable...

[xxkeichii]

Step 3: Turn off

Step 4: Get a PC

[campaingboy73]

@xxkeichii step 5 get pissed off by the pc,

step 6, get a mac. again.

[squidgyness]

@campaingboy73 Step 7: Become homeless, but its okay, it was totally worth it to get that Mac with outdated technology. Food sucks in comparison to the SHINY SHINY!!!

Step 8: How you would kill for a real apple to eat... oh the irony.

[campaingboy73]

@squidgyness step 9: win the lottery.

step 10: become homeless-less. :)

[wassgha]

Cancer has made Steve Jobs even thinner, that's phenomenal!

[iampriteshdesai]

@wassgha don't say that!

[mxims98]

HOLY COW WHAT HAPPENED TO STEP 3?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[TwilightSylvestris]

Ah, nostalgia! I was in grade 4 when my school got these in the computer lab for the first time and I wanted one so badly, but we couldn't afford one at the time. I still really like the design, even after all these years. X3

[punkprincesspurple]

That thing looks like it is from the 90s.

[tugafighter]

Here's the one of new macbook:

Step 1: there's no step 1 lol.

[Fredrik2012]

Here is the one of new iMac:

Step 1: Plug in

Step 2: (laugh) There is no step 2!

lol

[mchs1987]

@Fredrik2012 one from the future hahahah no step one

[peyfish8095]

step3-turn on your computer

[kirbyyasha]

Should be. Step 1, Plug in, Step 2. Hook keyboard up and turn the machine on! Step 3a. Hook phone cable in, Step 3b. Install AOL (Every Mac had AOL back in the day anyway... Nobody knew how to use a PPP or Broadband connection back then), Step 3c. Pay out the ass for horrible dialup service. Step 3d. Get banned from AOL for hitting on teens in the Teen Chat room. Step 4. Have a seat over there.

[AceTracer]

@kirbyyasha Though I can't link to the New York Times article directly, you can do a Google search for "Apple Chooses Earthlink for iMac Service" dated August 10, 1998. It was the default ISP, no software installation necessary, no AOL.

[AceTracer]

@kirbyyasha Not only that, it really was a one step process if you chose to go with Earthlink, which was a pretty good provider at the time. It was a one-click setup, and you had 30 days to try it out before subscribing.

With that said, I thought (and still do think) that the iMac was a horrible idea. I still can't understand what the appeal of all-in-one machines are. Even today Apple pairs amazing displays with computers that will be obsolete long before the display is. Makes no sense to me.

[aritmEtIcaackb]

Youtube automatic subtitles fail on audio this clear.

[madgreenb]

If there is no step 3 then why'd u say ther was

[BingBoingProductions]

@madgreenb Apple's big platform is being simple. By implying that other products have a step 3, they are saying they are superior in this way.

[madgreenb]

@BingBoingProductions but the suspense got built up for nothing

:(

[BingBoingProductions]

@madgreenb The suspense built up to there being no step three. Much as the cake being a lie.

[nrgshkl093]

wont you turn it on idiot? and your browser wont open by itself and who'll turn on that fucking router??!!!

[Anthony95270]

hey turn it on man ! xD

[leandrodafontoura]

I had a terrible internet experience when I was young...I used a pc....I wish I knew what a mac was back then.

[halo3manfreak]

They had those at my elementary school

[derick1259]

Has anyone noticed that the iMac is a copy of design of the Dyson DC02 clear, and and the Dyson CR01?

[Mematman15]

@derick1259 Has you noticed no one cares and that you're a motherfucking cunt?

[derick1259]

@Mematman15 Forever alone.

[derick1259]

Has anyone noticed that the design of this iMac is a copy of the design of the Dyson DC02 clear?

[ieatgrenades262]

@derick1259 has anyone else noticed that your a dickhead

[derick1259]

@ieatgrenades262 Average.

[belieberchick101]

that was like 112000 years old... :/

[elel70]

Step 1: Plug in

Step 2: Get Connected

Step 3: Get bored, and go play some CS:S on a PC.

[ieatgrenades262]

@elel70 yep thats what you do, play on a computer all day cause your a fat ass, go burn in hell fatty

[elel70]

@ieatgrenades262 Who said I use it all day?

[h4x0y]

@elel70 so why not play cs:s on the mac?

[elel70]

@h4x0y No scope zoom XD

[TheSeandroid]

@h4x0y CS:S Is available for the Mac.

[elel70]

@h4x0y Why not play CSS on an overpriced Mac? When I can play on a high end gaming rig PC for same price?

[h4x0y]

@elel70 of course there is scope zoom! dunno why people keep thinking the mac has no secondary click. I agree when you're just looking for high end performance on gaming, PC's are the way to go, but Macs are high end in a different way, like high end build quality and materials, seamless integration between OS and hardware, all-in-one solutions with great build-in displays etc.

[drrobertoboogie97]

@elel70 That high-end gaming rig likely costs more than the Mac.

[elel70]

@drrobertoboogie97 You can get high end gaming rig PCs for around £600 that are more powerful than Macs

[Fliponovic]

@elel70

You can get them for around $500 on holiday sales :D

And, I'm sorry, but Euro bills still remind me of monopoly, no matter how many times the currency changes in Europe... Lira, Franc, the deutsche mark, Euro, it's all the same :)

[BensoftMedia]

Step 1. Plug in

Step 2. Get Connected

Step 3. Stare at your switched off iMac laughing that there is no step 3

[ScottChaput]

Really bland9876

You're in 9th grade and that is how you type a sentence? It is shocking the people our education system is churning out. What you wrote was incomprehensible.

[domk95]

@ScottChaput Wait, what's shocking the people our education system churns out?

[these7enable]

Step 3: Turn on the IMAC. """"retard""'

[sangminlee48]

@these7enable the computer was already on. """"retard""'

0:26 I can see the light blinking (the power switch)

[jakash3]

@these7enable That's what she said

[campaingboy73]

@these7enable what if the imacs already on??? 

[NullDeveloper]

@these7enable

and Step 4: Open Internet Explorer (Mac OS X came with Safari in 10.4, and iMac G3 came with IE)

[bland9876]

My school elementary( I am an 9 grader ) had these and I actually new how to run it all other macs suck and ya

[jpr11011]

My mom's elementary school had those computers. The last one failed last spring after over 13 years of being used by little kids! Apple sure makes a durable computer.

[sweetestHONEY14]

hahaha i use to have those computer when i was in elementary now i'm in college WOOW!!!

[MrArabSon]

this is a dail-up connection

step 3: click "connect" so that boat anchor start the connection xD

[Xela11isbest]

I have that Mac in my room

[Commstrike]

retarded advertisement for apple

[mrplow321]

Apple went the wrong way! Their computer designs got less and less clever as time went on. Bring back the colours and the screen on a stick!

[BeatlesHero]

i wish i had one of these rather then the new super expensive macbooks and mac pros. :( my cousin had the imac but it didnt have internet lmao

[husnain404]

there's no step three cause the mac broke down before you could turn it on

[Tacenman]

@husnain404 thats what happens when you try to turn on pc

[sonicmonkey123]

Cute because of Jeff Goldblum?

[MrBarneyDinosaur]

Does this song remind anyone else of Toy Story?

[ERNESERNES]

@MrBarneyDinosaur the song "you've got a friend in me", the video reminds me on that song

[luigi90900]

@MrBarneyDinosaur I wouldn't be surprised considering that steve jobs was CEO of pixar at the time.

[paperman990]

YES , EXACTLY !!!!!!

[tehirorox]

@MrBarneyDinosaur its just the clarinet :)

[Malachy2010]

@MrBarneyDinosaur Well Steve was part of Pixar...

[willcollide]

@MrBarneyDinosaur That or the soundtrack to Monk

[EhouseBoy98]

ok then... hi

[VipericVampire]

Step 3: commit suicide for making the worst investment in your life. Make sure you do it in a horrible way.

[kosard212]

step 3, plug in the mouse, step 4, plug in the keyboard

[kmikl]

@kosard212 Step 5: turn it on and find an ISP while you wait to boot up,

Step 6: buy an internet package,

Step 7: enter the phone number and the rest of the connection info into the dial up widget,

Step 7.1: see if the ISP's tech support can help you with your sub 10% market share PC and OS when you can't find the damned dial up widget because it was buried.

Step 8: Find a new browser because netscape 2.1 sucks.

Step 9: Wish you didn't get AppleTalk for your Ethernet network.

[duhhh676]

dumb fucking commercial.

[TheMagicMacStop]

step 3 plug in keyboard and mouse

[Augie1945]

I remember as a first grader having that Mac, I thought it was the best, fastest thing I'd ever seen!!! Now I'm in 10th grade, and I have a brand new iMac, wow what an upgrade! And in 5 years when I'm in college, I'll look back and wonder gow I ever could've used a 2010 iMac =)

[peyfish8095]

step 3) turn on the computer maybe?

[diabeticdoode]

I wanted one of those colorful apples as a kid soooooooooo bad.

[0neofthem]

macs were kiddy back then but now they're sexy

[TheMagicMacStop]

@0neofthem kiddy then saved the compony from dying

[CKSpoiler]

[TheWMDhacker]

step 3: turn it on

step 4: log in

step 5: startup your browser

step 6: type in an URL

[Coi1221]

@TheWMDhacker what about pressing Enter?

[TheMagicMacStop]

@Coi1221 its was IE back then so you pressed the go button on the screen

[Bus7777]

@TheWMDhacker

Step 7: Crash

[davidbishop5]

[siemenstraffic]

Jupp that is the first generation G3 with the tray-loading CD-ROM that came into the market in 1998.

[Chris242tt]

NO STEP 3 WINDBLOWS BITCHES!

[chessedemcrackers]

We have 60 imacs of these in our school and they all broke

[derallter]

1. Plug it in.

2. Turn it on.

3. Throw it away.

[MrIndri]

@derallter how funny

[Unknownboi88]

say hello to my new Macquariam

[ashepe]

Always a couple of years ahead of their time :)

[Pino4649]

I still remember this ad.... At the time my dad had finally given up on his Commodore 128. We were at Best Buy and I was completely mesmerized by the iMac. I thought it looked so cool compared to everything else they had. It was way more than what my dad was willing to pay. So we ended up with a Hewlett Packard. Seems like yesterday... Hard to believe you can find the iMacs left out on the curb today. I still want one after all these years. 

[ThatEccentricguy]

these days its

step one, plug in

step 2..........theres no step 2

damn, with a macbook all you have to do is turn the damn thing on

[slurpy171]

Wow they have definatly changed

[iHelpWindows7]

This kinda creeps me out

[jaybeecoasterfreak98]

no step 3

[iwashere990]

How come macs aren't called Macintoshes anymore?

[HLM190586]

@iwashere990

They shortened the name probably for "cool" factor.

[istiefel222]

@iwashere990 they used to call them macintoshes because it stood for apple. mackintosh is a type of apple then people started calling them macs so thats why they changed to mac.

[cookieyy]

@iwashere990 because it's easier to remember Mac is one syllable where as Macintosh is 3 or 4

[appleobsessed1]

This whole video, thats what she said.

[najeebputhiyallam]

WoW.. Smart and Creative :)

[Deokishisu]

OS 9 for life.

[Kheldarren]

I still have and use 2 G3 iMacs. My oldest son uses one with OSX on it to do homework and listen to music. The other has OS9 on it and plays classic educational games for the younger kids - and me. I love them and will probably cry when they finally die.

[behindthepixel]

Apple changed, it was cool before.

[technogadget13]

@behindthepixel yes colorful style, old times are great...

the imac 2002 has a funny design

ibook 1s generation are colorful....

now go to apple store, and imacs are not colorful, only aluminium and white. are bored

[erik4727]

Step 3:

Pay those outrages early Internet Service Provider prices!

[Olli120]

'Hello'

[antonis0035tc]
