  • ahh, the apple II, the only good apple comuter

  • Thumbs up if you came here from his "The making of a YouTube video" video.

  • He said 'advertisements' wrong at 0:34

  • @Omango99 No I didn't

  • @MattsMacintosh In Australia we say, ad-VER-TIS-ments.

  • @Omango99 Dude, he said it perfectly lol

  • @Omango99 were can i get one from

  • Why do you like old Macs?

  • how much did u pick it up for?

    i've looking and found one but i don't know if it worth to pick up or not

  • What an awesome video! Thanks

  • Pick it up by its handle and take it to work? No, the handle is there to use it as a boat anchor!

  • RIP STEVE JOBS!

    

  • heheh, my old Apple //c still works, although the disks are starting to degrade horribly. The monitor is also faulty, thank goodness for the computer's composite output, plugs into any TV =)

  • I had these in my school when I first started teaching in 1996 and they still worked. My students worked on the apple II GS computers. I can't believe the maker of this machine is no longer with us. RIP Steve Jobs.

  • it kinda looks like the macintosh portable

  • thanks for the info ..i really luv old history of the pc and mac.

  • aw man look at those specs! SHIT'S GETTING REAL!

  • So you could just unplug it, pick it up and take it to work? So long as you had a monitor and power supply at work.

  • Wow, those specs are crazy. now, phones have 1.2 GHz dual core, with 32GB internal storage!

  • Cool, the //c was way smaller! <8O

  • WOW MY FIRST COMPUTER WAS THAT!!!!!!! WOW!!!

  • Great vid. Thank you.

  • Good Vid.

  • Had to watch this one again. I love the //c!!

  • My cellphone (Nokia 6600) has a faster processor than that @ 100MHz

  • I have the Prairie Pack for the IIc, that makes it truly portable. I just need to get a battery, as it has likely been dead for over 20 years.

  • Macintosh Portable Review!!! Thumbs up so he can see!

  • Matt I can see you own pretty much every product Apple Inc ever made and many of them were released what when you were a child/teen? Question is: do many of those computers belonged to your father or you bought/buy them as collector's item?

  • A friend who's dad owned the IIc and the LCD monitor back in 1985 would come over on weekends and we'd play Lemonade Stand or some other game.

  • At least there are only a few people calling it an "old Mac", so far. It's not a Mac at all, folks! Entirely different species! ☺

  • What an interesting machine. I've always wanted an Apple II series machine. I've got my Atari 8-bit and also a Commodore 64 so its natural for me to find an 8-bit Apple :)

  • The "snowy white" look eventually survived through 2006 : my first (Intel) Mac was snowy too - even more snowy than this Apple II.

  • @julosx. The name of the Snow White design language (a design language being essentially a set of rules governing a resulting aesthetic) has little—if anything—to do with colour. It harkens to the seven projects (her dwarves) for which it was originally to be used.

  • VERY NICE VIDEO

    GOOD JOB !!!

  • This was incredibly interesting. To see where Apple came from as compared to where they are. These vintage videos really help connect the dots from small ideas that Apple tried to implement decades ago and really perfected later. From this to the MacBook Air. Macintosh to intel iMac. Macintosh Portable to MacBook Pro. Proof that this company will still be blowing us away in decades to come.

  • PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON IMAC G5

  • Where Could we buy one of these ?? I Mean i would love to have an original macintosh by original i mean the first macs

  • Wow Matt! What a GREAT video AGAIN! Your videos are so structured and exciting, they always have something to say! I watched the making of this video, and WOW you do put a lot of work and effort into your videos! One thing though, you might want to do an introduction at the beginning of every video, for example: "Hi I'm Matt, and this is Matt's Machintosh" or something like that because someone who is watching you for the first time, may not know who you are! Keep up the good work! :)

  • Please do a video on the ibook Clamshell!!!

  • iLove Apple! :D

  • It would have been interesting to include a bit about the Apple IIc+, which had an integrated power supply, a 800k 3.5-inch floppy drive, 4x (4 MHz) processor, "platinum" (instead of white) color scheme, and other improvements. It was also the LAST new model in the Apple II lineup, coming after the Apple IIgs.

  • Did I see a dead pixel?

  • 128kb ram?! xD

  • @TheAlexBradley Yes, For the time it was a huge achievement for computer as little...

  • Great review. That sure brings back some memories. Back in 1989 or '90 my parents got me one of those to use for school.

  • Comment removed

  • Are you ever going to do a review on that apple laptop thingie that had that scrolie ball thing uhhh hold on let me go back in the video.... its the macintosh portable at 2:40 also MAKE LONGER VIDEOS!!! please : ) lol awesome videos..... btw : )

  • Very interesting video. I remember using the Apple II at school in 1984. Has anyone ever said you talk like Bill Gates?!! :D

  • @MattsMacintosh Do you need special floppy disks for the //c? I mean, on older PCs that have floppy drives, you need to make sure they're IBM formatted, but obviously Macs aren't IBMs. Are there Mac formatted floppy disks?

  • @SonicManEXE.

    Preformatted floppies were only a convenience. What a floppy was preformatted for never mattered. They could always be reformatted for whatever machine they were to be used in.

    An Apple II 5¼" floppy drive takes any single-sided double-density 5¼" floppy disk; though most of us (as well as users of other platforms) used double-sided disks—cutting a second write-enable notch, so we could flip the disk over and use the other side (and called them flip-floppies).

  • Nice job.

  • I´´ll go for an macbook air.

  • What does it run? Macintosh or Apple II system?

  • It's simply amazing how apple went from this to iphone od 27 inch mac, or ipod or ipad... i just love it.

    I have iPod 4, and i love it every day more and more...

  • It's More Like Mac Mini Than Macbook Air !

  • Came to THIS video AFTER watching the "how to" video you made about making this!

    Appreciate your work much more now! Going to like and favorite both of them and hope they make it to a Youtube featured video..suggest others do the same! Great work!

  • awesome review Matt Keep it up

  • can you do a video about the lisa

  • WOW.. All I know about Mac stuff is not till a few years back.. umm, High School?.. lol. Its so refreshing to see how much more there is to Apple, and it helps to show that the future only has better stuff in stored for us next?.. Great review dude :D

  • @KingBlooh Thanks. Glad you liked it.

  • great review! any chance we can see some of ur vids more aften??? keep up the good work!

  • Were gonna look back on computers today and laugh at them.

  • this is amazing keep up the good work!

  • You should do a video showing of you doing a demo of some old OSs ( apple 2 or system 7)

  • Can you make some videos starting up and using the vintage apples

  • nice review.. amazing it was from way back in 1984.. it's quite sleek and pretty for it's vintage isn't it?

  • This really puts into perspective how much we've come along in terms of technology. Great video. :)

  • i would die if i had to use that computer.

  • Do you work for Apple?

  • @xmeerzx Nope

  • @MattsMacintosh where do you work then?

  • my first apple was apple iie

  • In 30 years some guy will make a review explaining that the MBA "was one of the first of those notebooks that came with a SSD for the mass market. But it still had moving parts like the keyboard and you still had to boot it."

    :D

  • Dang, if u sold all ur apple stuff, youd be a millionaire

  • No Thief Can Break Steve's Dream It's From Heart And The Concepts Are Always Some No Matter It's The APPLE I Or The New MACBOOK AIR......... Hands Off Sir, Steve. He Is Like God To Me And To Most Of The Apple Fans Out Their. Sir Your Inventions Came Out In My Heart. You Are Best Sir, Get Well Soon.......

  • After Effects tutorials pls :)

  • good stuff, interesting, thanks.

  • Absolutely awesome video!

    What video slider are you using for your 60D?

  • Does the //c's monitor use external power? I didn't know if it used that special Apple monitor cable that supplied power to the monitor as well. If so, that makes more sense that a battery pack was supplied for the unit.

  • you should do some tutorials for after effects because that text thing you got going on when you show the apple //c is boss!

  • @74steve66 videocopilot(.)net/basic/#05

    Remove ().....

  • I showed my mom this video, and then we both realized that her //c was sitting in a box in the corner. So we got it out, and followed your "review" with a physical representation of what you were talking about. Thanks for provoking great memories! :)

  • Do you know where to get cheap accessories for the Apple //c? And can you get an OS for it? If so, where? Thanks!

  • I want to see some more classic mac videos that was awesome!! The old machines are really interesting! 

  • now thats one fast mac. :D

  • I wanna see more videos like these..

  • 2 things:

    1, is the apple key the equivalent of today's command key?

    2: watching this video it made me realize the importance of plug n play, something that I think is highly taken for granted. I'm so used to usb and firewire automatically recognizing something that I forget the days of Win95 (no offense to win95) when a driver was ALWAYS needed to be installed :)

  • @Norway2011. Yes. the command key is the Apple key.

    The Apple key started with the Apple III, and carried over to the Apple IIe. Come Macintosh, Jobs balked at the plethora of Apple logos in menus, and insisted that another glyph be used. Enter the sevärdhet (⌘).

    ADB keyboards have both glyphs on the key, due to ADB being used on the Apple IIgs as well as the subsequent decade or so of Macs. When apple phased out ADB, in the late '90s, the Apple glyph on the command key went with it.

  • Matt, what happened to the back corner of the computer? It looks bent out.

  • Where do you get this stuff?

  • Matt, great review, Thumbs UP! I owned an Apple ][ Plus. Should have kept it!!

  • my dad says he still has these old Mac's somewhere :D i wanna see them!!!!! 

  • The difference between this and todays computers, what are we gonna have in another 20yrs??

  • How do you get inside it? Is it hard to do, like the Macintosh 128k

  • awesome i just watch pirates of silicon valley last nite and made me pledge never to buy nothing Microsoft love apple 

  • Woah! High school flashback! I loved using the IIc when it came out. I was a senior in high school back then. And it stood way apart from a room full of TRS-80's :-D

  • Can I ask where you got these Macs from, because I'm pretty sure you didn't buy one in the 80's... So, does that mean you're a collector? Great video by the way, really enjoyed it. :)

  • REVIEW THE MACINTOSH PORTABLE PLEASE!!

  • i wish he would also review the hardware.

  • @smellythorm Can you elaborate? What would you like to see? I'll keep it in mind for the next video.

  • @MattsMacintosh i think you did a really good job in terms of reviewing the hardware... i don't know what he's complaining about? :)

  • this guy is a beast... not a demon... lol

  • THANK YOU!!!!

  • Great video Matt!!!!!!

  • Great video. Nice to see some old retro Macs.

  • Kinda looks like a PS1 :P

  • Ive never been a fan of the iic due to the fact of no real expandability but i know of its historical value would u consider it a worth wild pursuance it not that expensive

  • Awesome video!

  • one of your best videos yet Id really like to see a video on the lisa because there are not to many videos on it due to is rareness

  • one of your best videos yet Id really like to see a video on the lisa

  • It looks gorgeous, seriously. Much much nicer than most PCs these days and so smartly built. Excellent design.

    But seriously Matt, ur videos are great!

  • Thanks Matt, very interesting. =)

  • iJustine's got nothing on MattsMacintosh!

    Awesome video man. Keep it up!

  • wuhoho imagine 20 years from now hologram ultra portable in ur brain

  • The parallels between this and the macbook air are pretty amazing.

  • Is there any way that you can tell me a little bit more about the ImageWriter II and the StyleWriter II? I saw them in one of my teacher's classrooms and they looked kinda neat. There also was an old Mac that a big old Apple monitor was sitting on top of. It was flat and low-profile and it said Macintosh with the old rainbow logo on the front. I can't remember the exact model, but all I know is that it looked really old. I'll try and get some more info.

    Check out my channel!!!
