[thelinkinparkfan504]

This is almost more hi-tech than now.

[TammyLoves2Read]

I LOL'd at the gigantic cell phone in his car then his beeper went off. :))) I remember those days.

[Dang4328]

3,000 dollar laptop w/ printer? My first car was less than that (Town car)

[geograndsand]

Apple has always been ahead and the best!

[donniedarkodevotte]

$700.00 for a fucking printer?! I bought a brand new printer last month for $19.99.

[robotman5]

i was only 1 years old when this commercial came out.... lol

[Ferrariman601]

This just totally captures the innovative spirit we had in the 90's. What an optimistic time.

I hope we can find that same optimism again.

[tehpando]

doohickies

[kathryn0200]

I accessed this cyber link using the innovative track pad.

[Pinwormx]

This is like The Jetsons and stuff.

[maniakk14]

I use your videos to explain internet and networking to my grandma! Thanks!

[Ainznando]

Heh... they didn't forsee the ubiquity of browsers & the web, which was just around the corner... goes to show how it came out of nowhere and took off so fast! Those separate 'gadgets' have mostly converged into software apps on laptops and mobiles instead. Interesting upload... Harnoho dnja!

[tharock220]

Ahhh, the good old 90's when companies would let you expense all the high tech bullshit in the world under the premise of making us more productive than our competitors. Now I tell my boss I need more desktop space and instead of betting me a new monitor he moves shit around and you can write there.

[SUPERUNITKING]

So cool

[filmftw3]

HP 560c that retailed for $700 now retails for $0.56 worth of scrap.

[aczero1989]

id rather put a phone on a fucking communicator, than having an iphone

[xXMapleVodkaXx]

Portable computers? IMPoSSIBLE I SAY!

[stephthestar90]

wow he has a powerbook! wonder what he would make of the macbook air? 

[Javier23gol]

What would happen if I go back to 1994 and I show them an iPhone 4s?

[mseales]

To think, it's been 18 years and we're only up from 120 to 140 characters with Twitter.

[uninterestingentity]

@mseales That's a hardcoded thing since text messages are piggybacking on signals that are sent anyway.

[lucasfunkt]

This was 18 years ago already!?!

[LauraLittlePony]

"There's even a feature that allows you to check out your own image before dialing. . . I mean, you never know who might be calling."

If you're the one dialing, you should have some idea. . . heh.

[Rick5150]

I feel bad for the poor sum bitch that slaved his ass off to buy all this now useless crap.

[searchanddiscover]

its funny, this would be soooo boring if i watched it at the time this came out but watching it 20 years later makes it so interesting because of 20/20 hindsight.

[AdamBomb669]

That kid sounds creepy as fuck.

[NiklausJK]

God damn that printer is quick.

[Kazuo1G]

A MINI FAX MACHINE?! XD

[Braxton619]

[theturk4]

[XboxBasherAvailable]

[emoturbin]

1) He makes that bitch get him a sandwich via early-skype technology

2) I'm pretty sure this whole video uses the sequence music from Curb Your Enthusiasm

[crazy88boss]

An Apple computer running Microsoft's Windows? I can see the beginning of a beautiful friendship. (lol)

[XDMProduction]

1:18

"HI DADDY I LOVE YOU!"

[NekoValtz]

I love the voice of the girl in the picture frame. God that was creepy XD

[kon007nic]

[GuitarAudiologist]

[triipge]

[MrUnsuspiciousName]

[SuicidelRetard]

lol this shit is lulzy as fuck

[poodtang1]

All this for under $800.

OMG

This reminds me of when VCR's first came out. They were like $500. Now you couldn't give one away.

[crypticlocker]

That Philips phone looks like the American version of the Amstrad Emailer.

[EmmettSilentNuke]

" U never know whose calling :D! " caller ID?

[mbrennan27]

[PresidentDRCI]

3:12 WHY DON'T LAPTOPS DO THAT NOW!!!!!!!

[eeyk1993]

apple icoon and microsoft os?

[forestm281]

Nearly all this stuff was a pipe dream.

[foot1647]

I was 6 in 94' and this is awesome to watch! NO kidding, I laughed at the $700 printer that probably did 4 sheet per hour. So weird to see what we have now compared to then.

[anthodium]

Hi: Thank you for the comment! I was 14 years old in 1994. Two years before that my family moved to America from Ukraine. I was still learning the English language. We just got our first VCR and I was frequently taping programs from the TV. I remember I couldn't understand what this guy was talking about. But I was mesmerized. So, I hit the record button. 17 years later, I found that tape in my basement. I figured you'd all have a good laugh!

[foot1647]

@anthodium I enjoy these videos you put up! Yeah, we have probably a hundred tv recorded movies and shows onto VHS tapes in our garage attic, lol. If you find anymore I'd gladly watch em'!

[chica476]

@anthodium

I am part ukrainian but entirely insainian.

[downwithapathy]

@foot1647 I had that HP printer, and there is nooooo way my mom payed $700 for it. NO way. Not even close.
