About

You will find within this channel a series of videos that focus on the Apple Macintosh line of computers, plus a bit on the Texas Instruments TI99/4A and bunch of unrelated older stuff. Currently working on a series of Macintosh videos with an in-depth look at each model. I started out early with the Macintosh, when the family got a Macintosh SE and giant Imagewriter LQ in 1988 to replace our 1966 typewriter. We upgraded to a Macintosh Classic II, then I bought my own computer: the Power Macintosh 6100/60AV in 1994. I used that until the 400MHz Sawtooth G4 tower came along in 2000 and I dove into digital video. When my wife got me a Macintosh LC for $25 in 2003, it sparked an interest in collecting the older machines (that was not what she intended to happen, believe me). Now I still get by with a Mac Pro (early 2008), waiting for Apple to do something great again to make me want to upgrade.

Video Description

The first solid revision of the original iMac, the slot-load iMac was released as Apple's recovery actions of the past 3 years were gaining traction. In this video, I discuss the confusing nomenclature of the Mac during this time, the iMac releases leading up the slot load iMac and the new iMac, itself! Expect to hear the word 'aesthetic' a lot. I then talk about the iMacs that I acquired to make this video and the fallacy of the iMac's legacy. The highly accomplished Alexander Brandon helped me out with voice-over and music.
