[Macintoshgeek]

haha Al, you don't even know how many times I have watched the Tomb series. It's so weird seeing all of this old apple stuff, and being the freaking geek I am I find it all amazing.

PS. I'm clicking your face.

[ItachiUchihara]

[djypsydjazz]

Wow Cray. Thats impressive to see an article on the old Cray machine that apple had.

[ethen24]

Al Diblasi: Tomb Raider XD

[wilkinsonproductions]

You have to get it all up and running, and show us all at youtube, im checking my emails constantly to see if you have added anymore video, lol, there awsome. Speak Soon, Olie

[PaganEgyptian]

Damn Al, you got the stuff. And why the hell you getting spammed all of a sudden...

[ultrajumboshrimp]

You could've sold those on eBay and made money instead of destroying them. lol

[jsl151850b]

"Don't it always seem to go.... you don't know what you've got till it's gone."

I bought #000105 Apple ][, and gradually updated/replaced it to //e.

Sold it in late 80s/early 90s. 1mb ram! 10mb Hard Drive!

Check my YouTubes for videos of it running at SUPERSPEED!!

(Some phographic trickery involved)

See also my flickr page. Same user name.

[eddyisme2]

i used to have a commedor 64 with the controlers and crap like 2 games i threw it away cause it stopted working

[DCStudios]

Al, was this video filmed before the trip to the storage facility when you found the BASIC book? Thanks. By the way..your videos are great.

[hansolo1024]

WOW that pin set HAS to be worth alot of money. if not it still kool, along with that AWSOME TEE!!!

[adiblasi]

Hi Hans - the pin collection is only worth 'a lot of money' to another die hard Apple collector. What's really great is that I am able to share all of this stuff youyou all, my YouTube viewers! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[bjhorton2005]

Thx for sharing. I like many others will never have the opportunity to see this stuff, and it's just amazing that you share it with us. NICE TOYS! lol

[djneo92nl]

i had also a very old graphics tablet

[HubmaN1234]

Daaaamn. I wish I had one of those snazzy splash animations you plaster on every video.

[jackpierce10]

they come with livetype

[ieeeeeeeeeeeee]

i have some of those elephant-branded floppy disks

[zikman23]

aw hell yea man. how much do you want for that shirt. I love that retro rainbow apple logo.

[stupidvidiot]

what is your secret to looking younger as many years go by? Also, is it possible to be an Apple fan if I never owned anything from Apple? Apple has an interesting historic timeline.

[aribenzane]

Wow you had fun! I love the button set! They should do that today! And are those disks really still good?

[adiblasi]

Ari - we're gonna try to boot some of those old ant shit disc's real soon! Keep watching! :) - Alfred

[aribenzane]

What happened to your Mac dealership anyway? I didn't know you were a Mac developer too!

[luigi90900]

@adiblasi Were still waiting...

[oliversekunda87]

Great Stuff!

I'm liking the Apple graphics tablet. If MIDIfied it could make an excellent control surface for your musical equipment.

[adiblasi]

I like the way you think. I just subscribed to your channel - I want to keep tabs on what you are enjoying, because it's all good. Thanks! - Alfred

[Nokorola]

awesome Indus floppy drive Wizard of Wor on Commodore 64 rocks!

[adiblasi]

Noko! Thanks! Yes, C64 had some great graphics and audio capabilities. Thanks for watching! - Alfred

[sdubois92]

mention my name next time...please!

[adiblasi]

Damn, how do I pronounce it? :)

[videoblast]

While you were cleaning old floppy disks, i was skydiving!! happy new year alfred.

[adiblasi]

Lance, please post THAT video! Damn, should I have been out having fun? Actually... 'Tomb Raiding' was fun. I hope you enjoyed the 'stuff'! LOL! - Alfred

[jchiaro]

wow thats a lot of cool old stuff.

[thecreativeone]

Awesome video, Alfred! You know I love all the Apple stuff you have to show. Thanks for the multiple shout-outs! :)

(This post is brought to you by David's Wii)

[adiblasi]

Knock it OFF with that f_cking Wii. You should be using a MacMini.

[thecreativeone]

Hahaha, dude you have to try it! There's nothing like browsing YouTube will lying down in bed. Well you could use an Apple notebook to do that, but it feels so natural with the "Wiimote." =D Happy New Year, bud!

[adiblasi]

Happy New Year to you too -- how the hell do you 'type' using a Wiimote? You bum!

[bewlaybrutha]

Don't listen to this guy, Resistance is a shit game. It looks like a crappy cartoon and plays like an even more boring Halo. If you played 10 minutes of Bioshock or Call of Duty 4 you would never consider wasting time on Resistance

[JoshKeatonFan]

You are a jackass! I like to play all games despite the system, brand, console, platform, or even the genre of the game. Unreal Tournament 3 is out now for the Playstation 3 and PC and will soon be coming out for the Xbox 360 and Mac. The PC and Playstation 3 are REAL gaming machines whereas the Xbox 360 and the Mac are terrible for the REAL games. So basically it is "PS3 vs. PC" and "Xbox 360 vs. Mac" since they are very similar in power and performance.

[bewlaybrutha]

Oddd that you'd say that since PS3 has 3 fuckin games and terrible graphics/framerates, and Xbox and PC have hundreds of games and great graphics. And I don't know what fuckin drano you've been drinking, but Unreal is a game no one has cared about since the '90s, unless of course you were swindled into buying a george foreman grill, I mean PS3

[bewlaybrutha]

[JoshKeatonFan]

I find it odd that you think the PS3 only has 3 games, when it in fact has a lot of them and even more on the way. Don't start talking to me about exclusives. I don't care! I play games on my console, you play on your console. Let's just grow up and agree that we both have great consoles and that they are both great. I love the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii. I also love to play on my Mac Mini and my PC. What is so wrong with that. We play games for fun.

[bewlaybrutha]

I don't even think 360 is a GREAT console, I was just trying to save some people the agony of playing Resistance. I've only played 4 good 360 games in 2007. The shit thing is that if I only had a PS3 it would be maybe 1 game

[JoshKeatonFan]

Well, then we are very different. I appreciate the work that game developers put into making their games great and you are an ungrateful bastard that doesn't know the hard work that goes into making a game nor do you appreciate the fact that games now cost upwards of $60. You are very ungrateful about games. Just shut-up! You're embarrassing yourself. You're an UNGRATEFUL GAMER!

[bewlaybrutha]

If you actually believe more than 3 or 4 Great Games are being made per year, you are just a mindless consumer who appreciates anything garbage that is shat upon him.

[cssniper06]

Alfred, OMG! that thing is like a time capsule, a heaven for every geeky mac fanboy (david). You have history in that storage place. I cant believe how old the stuff is. You really go back far in time. The shirt is sweet, back in its rainbow days. Have a great newyear.

[Arsenium154]

Oh yeah I Do Appreciate of you doing all that stuff cuase your videos are great

[Skrapper]

Man you have a bunch of useless stuff...well i guess someone will be insane enough to buy it at Ebay...hahaha! See you around Alfred!

[wvziccardi]

wow! 1) I want that shirt... 2) I want those badges... 3) you have ALOT of crap!!

its like a car boot sale in there

[adiblasi]

Hey WV - Oh man, that shirt is NASTY DIRTY - with I dunno WHAT. I did clean it - still stained. Nasty. Yea, the badges are cool. Oh yes, lots of crap. Stay tuned -- I did MORE filming today! - Alfred

[BobbyBrady2000]

I got my first Apple in 1983 (I think) I was 14 years old. I got an Apple //e and an imagewriter dot matrix printer. I even had 2 floppy drives! Boy I thought I was "the shit" LOL. :) My Aunt was a teacher and got it for me with her educator discount. It was still a couple thousand dollars! :0

[adiblasi]

Hey, a loaded //e system back in 1983 WAS 'Da Shit. How lucky you were! Oh man, those were fun times. We were really 'computing' and writing code, and exploring, and expanding our minds... now.. they are appliances to the mass market. But hey, at least we can look back! Wait till you see what I filmed TODAY! Stay Tuned! - Alfred

[XMattingly]

Wow, man -- not only a great window into some Apple history, but also a little bit of your personal history. I never knew Apple had a graphics tablet... and what the hell ever made you decide to buy an Ernest doll?! ...lol I had a good laugh about you stomping that PowerMac box -- my first computer was a Performa 6400. Thanks for sharing as always, Alfred - this was a really good one! Happy New Year!!

[adiblasi]

Hey Chris - I'll tell you why I bought those dolls. I had a friend on Long Island that got me all hopped up one weekend, saying that 'kick ass collectibles are right under your nose at the toy store' - so I did a little bit of a binge - the real collectible was a small figure from the Dick Tracy movie - he was a bum. It was pulled from the stores. I have 2 of 'em, someone in that facility. More to come! - Alfred

[jalland]

Yeah... send it to Ebay or keep it and make more videos like this ! :D

Keep it up!!

And.. Do you play Counter-Strike? :P Just wondering... haha.

[adiblasi]

Hey Jailand -- thanks for writing. Yes, I play CS on the original Xbox platform. I did purchase Source, but I have not yet installed it for Windows. What platform are you playing on? - Alfred

[jalland]

I mostly play Counter-Strike: Source on windows. Not the original :P Hey! Install CS:S and maybe we can kick eachoders ass. haha

/jalland

[duke5198]

Entertainment at it's finest

[adiblasi]

Duke - thank you - that was a kick-ass comment, and I really appreciate it. I'm trying hard to keep you all entertained :) - Alfred

[ajdpadbury]

Keep them all Alfred! Thanks for another GREAT history lesson buddy! - AJ

[adiblasi]

AJ - thanks for viewing my 'stuff' with me. More to come for Tomb Part II! - Alfred

[ronnysoeberg]

Man i wish i kept some of my junk too.. I had some neet stuff back in the 80s. Like an Amstrad 15/12 and some good consoles too. From now on, i'm not throwing away anything. How are you ever going to get that nostalgic feeling if all your equipment is new? Your junkheap is the root of envy right now.

[adiblasi]

Hi Ronny - It is difficult to store 'junk' - that facility costs me about $90 per month, times 12 months, times 15 years - OMG! LOL! The stuff in there is not worth that much, however, it is worth a fortune to me to be able to film it and share it with people like you all over the world. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! Watch for Part 2 soon! - Alfred

[w0rldpeace]

LOL!!!! I had the 7500, 60-80mb hard disk space.

Holy shit this is classic. You are the archivist.

[adiblasi]

Ben, thanks for watching. Yes, I warehoused all this shit.... and it's all useless, but you know what, it's a GREAT platform for making YouTube videos and sharing the 'past' - thanks so much for watching. I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year. w0rldpeace to you, Ben, through global d0mination! :) - Alfred

[w0rldpeace]

Worldpeace through superior firepower.

Worldpeace,

Ben

[tylerlavite]

Man Al i wish i had all of that apple stuff! i want to get a Lisa but my mom wont let me buy one she says its useless! AAAAAAAHH!

[adiblasi]

Tyler, I loved your comment so much, I decided to keep the duplicate! Hey, keep working on your collection, just one piece at a time :) I'll be getting inside the Lisa computer real soon -- keep an eye out for that video! - Alfred

[tylerlavite]

Man Al i wish i had all of that apple stuff! i want to get a Lisa but my mom wont let me buy one she says its useless! AAAAAAAHH!

[Meleski01]

thank you for giving me reasons not to leave electronics in a storage facility for 15+ years. melting camcorders and ants just arent my thing. great video.

[adiblasi]

Corey! LOL! Thanks man - a great comment. I'll be going back to that facility again real soon -- so keep an eye out for Part II! - Alfred

[MultimediaJay]

YEAH! Well, you aren't leaving me in the dust on 5 1/4" floppies. I grew up with all the MECC software on Apple II in school. Number Munchers, Appleworks, Think Quick, Oregon Trail, Oddell Lake, yada yada. Awesome video. =)

[adiblasi]

Jay! Thanks for watching -- and I appreciate those shout outs you give me too! LOL! My family was laughing when you were making temperature jokes and gave a "DiBlasi" shout out -- outstanding! - Alfred

[MultimediaJay]

It's 27 degrees out and I have the window open. The heat's off in the house, except downstairs where it's set to 40 so the pipes don't freeze. I'm also wearing short sleeves. What was that about temperature jokes? =D

[adiblasi]

Short sleeves? Nice, Jay! LOL! I hope your New Years Resolution is like mine -- Hi-Def at 1080i or 1080p!

[grandplans]

wow! I was playing on a commodore 64 when I was 12 years old. I played games like snooper troops, a detective game, zork, and a choose your own adventure game where you try to make it to the farmer's daughter without getting caught. all on 5 1/4 in floppies. LOL!!!

[adiblasi]

Oh man -- Grand, thanks for sharing the names of some of those programs! Haha, I'll be doing video capture from the Apple II so we ALL can go 'back in time' and look at where we came from! Thanks again! Happy New Year - Alfred.

[futurehollywood22]

dang, youve been on apple a long time

usually people switched when OSX came out

[adiblasi]

Hey Future - Yes, I go back to 1978 with Apple. Oh My God I'm freakin OLD! LOL! Thanks for watching! - Alfred.

[RoccosHouse]

Wow fucking youtube! I didn't even know you updated bro, youtube took the fucking slide show section down that shows all my subscriptions and put a big fucking Chevy ad in it's place.

You do have a lot of eBay worthy stuff there bro!

I hope you make a killin' off it. =)

[adiblasi]

Rocco! Yes, YouTube was all screwed up today. It took hours to post my two new videos. Thanks for watching. I was thinking of you when I threw that stuff in the dumpster -- haha, maybe someone will dumpster dive and find those jewels! TTYL - Alfred
