1986 Macintosh Plus.

My 1986 Macintosh Plus. I decided to do this video after hearing of Steve Jobs death. I will miss him very much. I used my Apple 2010 iPhone 4 to film this Apple 1986 computer. :)
All the specs are below. Enjoy! Thanks for watching.

Dave, makes excellent Tech videos, and he is also very funny. Thanks, Dave!

The Mac Plus was the answer to complaints that the original Mac was not expandable. It doubled the ROM of the 512k from 64k to 128k, and increased the RAM to 1 MB (expandable to 4 MB). It was the first Mac to include a SCSI port, allowing for a variety of external peripherals, and was the first Mac to use the now familiar platinum case color (although it initially shipped in beige). The Mac Plus originally sold for $2600 U.S., and was sold to educational markets as the Mac ED.

Great video man. This mac is before my time but I still remember using it in school or maybe a slightly never version. I am reading his bibliography also. Inspirational stuff.

[chessdude67]

@VicRoseMusic Thank you so much. I wish it was less shaky, but I needed to get in done that morning in one take. Happy to read you spent some time on one. It was a great computer back then. I'm also reading about his life story. I'm glad he let the writer tell everything...the good & the bad.

Thanks again!

This is a very cool upload... what a great piece of history : )

[chessdude67]

@BjavaBluesStop Thank you for watching. Things can only get better with filming after this one!

Have a great weekend.

Tim :)

Hey Tim! Very cool video :) It's interesting to see how Apple's computers have improved so much, but they still kept more or less the same layout for the system (the bar at the top; The finder window layout; etc). Thumbs up + fav for this!

For some reason I totally missed this video. You had told me you were going to upload this but it didn't show up in my subscription box...

Oscar.

@osjcag Thanks, Oscar. I'm very unhappy with this video. It will go to private very soon. Thanks for saying nice things. You're a good friend!

Thank you,

Tim

@chessdude Why do you have "Installer" on your system disk?

Did Steve Jobs work on the Mac Plus?

[AppleFanatic128K]

I believe I saw this on eBay for $900.00.

he went knowing that he created something people will remember him by

A fitting tribute to Mr. Jobs. I still have my Mac Plus system, including the same keyboard, external floppy drive and a 20MB hard drive.

Thanks, man. Great memories, I started with that MAC and still am a MAC user! Now it's iMac that I use. Nice to see the good old MAC still working, heh.
