absolutly brillant commercial. that is what computers are for.

@gamewizard You're looking at history thru rose colored glasses. The 2.8 Mhz CPU in the IIgs was slow and bottlenecked because it had to have backwards compatability with older 8-bit Apple II software. Even when running native 16-bit software the system had to slow to 1mhz for many I/O and disk accessing tasks.
Most 68000 based computers ran circles around it. ...and for the record I did own a IIgs but I see no point in lying about it's capabilities after all these years.
-
@sundhaug92 15 years of compatability is easy when Apple did little to no improvements to the Apple II line for most of those years. Incidently, the Apple IIGS had a"Mega II" chip in it to get backwards compatability....that counts as an "additional layer". It also had to be revised twice to fix compatability issues. (ROM 00, ROM 01, ROM 03).
-
I think the ][GS should be called one of the most compatible computers ever, when you bought it in '92 you could run programs all the way from '77, that's 15 years of compatitability, without any additional layers
-
@gamewizard I totally agree.. I always like the Apple II's because you threw in your disk, and off your went.. I always wondered why the IIGS didn't take off.. maybe there were more developers writing Macintosh programs, vs ProDOS programs.. or maybe it's because the Macintosh was cuter and Apple thought it was more marketable to consumers..

yep...the good ol' scully days

IIgs > Macintosh
Seriously it made it completely redundant, in the same way the mac did to the lisa.
They should have just skipped the III, lisa and mac and gone right to this.

Was that guy really doing two different things on opposite hands? Nuts. Jealous actually. As for the computer, those graphics capabilities looked as good as the Amiga. Although I am a PC man, those systems were off the chain.

They don't make commercials the way they used to. :(

when did that come out?
