"tapping it into place" >proceeds to repeatedly bash the io shield in with a screw driver

The best upload you have ever done Colin 👍

This is a great idea! Apple should make this

It's funny... The part where Tom describes how they developed styluses for the Scribe, where they'd have different nibs for various textures and so on... That is exactly what the Apple Pencil of the modern day is missing! I don't want to have a nasty plastic screen protector that wears out in 6 months for a "paper feel". They came close with the new iPad Pro that has an anti-glare glass, but that iPad is very, very expensive. As an illustrator who uses an iPad and Apple Pencil as my main art tool, I was so excited when they refreshed the Apple Pencil this year. But the one thing I was hoping to see never showed up. Turns out the feature I wanted from Apple was made about 3 decades ago. Thanks Collin for this excellent look behind the scenes at Apple!

Truly fantastic. I wish that Apple had stuck around in the edge of innovation space instead of sitting around and waiting for others to make the cool stuff for them.

Thanks for being there.

I highly disagree that it was golden era for being a computer fan. The worst part was the speed of development. Your brand new expensive PC was turning into pile of electrojunk within just 2 years. I remember that to be able to play new games in more than 15 fps on low you had to replace GPU that often.

This can run MacOS but an M4 iPad Pro can’t

Bose makes equipment that enables music lovers to better or more easily enjoy their music. Audiophiles buy equipment that enables themselves to feel superior. Audiophiles are not interested in music, they're interested in boosting their own egos by discrediting others. Their beliefs about their equipment are deluded. They are the dregs of society.

I appreciate this content format more, even though it takes you longer to create each episode.

I want the iPod classic

GREAT😊

I just completed this mod successfully thanks to your clear and understandable tutorial. It's by far the best one around in my view. Thanks very much indeed!! 🙂

my family was 100% bought into CDs so i only ever had my music on that format until i got into vinyl records with my hifi system. i’d never even seen a minidisc outside of pictures from the internet or a magazine or something. i’ve got a sony head unit that can play minidiscs as well as CDs (but no minidiscs themselves). i’d love to get a minidisc walkman one day so i can change that, but for all intents and purposes my CD collection is serving me just fine lol.

Amazing video, truly high quality

Just Amazing doc. Thanks a lot.

1:05 sees hello moto

I got WebTv in 1997 and upgraded to the Plus model in 2000. I used it until my first laptop in 2003

What is that keyboard?! At 4:56 ?! Looks like powerbook one

Dang! I have a similar model from the same family, but it's BIOS locked. It's so difficult to find information on how to bypass the password. A real shame!

I ❤ mechanical devices

well, itunes, finder, and apple music just see ipod, and go "oh, thats an ipod, lets sync it"

Great video!! Funny there was a device already named “Apple Scribe” the printer!! Horrible printer!! But it had that name first 😝

You make it sound like the PenLite hasn’t been shown before. Totally not the case and easily searchable online.

You have outdone yourself, Colin, with this incredible video! What an absolute gem of Apple Computer history (and such a sad story for PenLite). Thanks to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece. 🙂

This was crazy ahead of it's time

I remember our elementary school computer lab in the early-mid 90s having those Apple //e cards. I was always so disapointed when they made us boot into the Apple //e system instead of getting to use the cool Macintosh with the amazing GUI and graphics

👍👍👍

The ‘pute that got me through collge.

I owned a computer store during the 90’s and have lots of the same memories. AOL 5.0 was my arch nemesis 😮

What’s the keyboard at 4:13?

All these features and functionality, almost made it to a wider audience more than 30 years ago.. Well done documentary, great stuff!

What a brilliant video! I would have liked a bit more structure, reminding me what product we're talking about, what year we're in, who's working where, etc but I'm nitpicking

"it comes with windows 11" how? doesn't that require lots of authentication stuff from a modern processor?

6:30 Michael: "Get rid of the SeeWord." Lucille: "I'll uninstall it when I'm good and ready."

can you sell it for me?

16:45 In this part of the 1990s it felt like futuristic computer technology was just around the corner. Any computer design we saw in sci-fi movies was not only possible, but Apple was already building it. It was continually exciting! The feeling didn't last, but it was a wonderful shared experience of technological optimism.

Two years ago I bought a Yaoin MS-23S Phono amp. It is a true tube (valve) phono stage amplifier. I use a Denon 103C Moving Coil cartridge in a Dynavector tone arm. Actually found it on Amazon a few years ago. The sound is exactly what wanted, very musical, but quite dynamic as well as having accurate reproduction. I did find it was mandatory to ground the chassis. Those who have heard it have been impressed as it has a quiet background. I have used it with a Shure V15 and a Grado cartridge with similar results! As I remember it cost $130.00 and it is a bargain. It uses two large transformers one for each channel and “rolling” tunes does make a difference especially with old Mullard, Telefunken and GEC tubes. It is musical and listenable.

Oh, man... I miss the days when Apple was innovating.

Beer bust? What? Spend all your money on beer?

That was really cool.

The Apple Newton was the Ipad before the Ipad.

please stop talking and assemble it already.

Wow. Well done.

This was awesome storytelling, thank you! I loved how you integrated the interviews from the designers! Bravo!

Excellent! I had nearly forgotten that this had existed. So cool you were able to find original people to talk to about it.

Worked at Palm from 2004 to 2009. Was part of the Treo team, and we saw the traditional PDA market dying every year…

Ok that was worth the tease last week

Fantastic video, Colin! I really feel the love in this. If you could ever find one to make a video about, then could you do a video on the Canon Cat computer? I'd really love a modern take on it.

I have a Mac Classic I need to restore. It’s my original I bought from mowing lawns. Anyone know who can help in Michigan?
