Instant "drop everything and watch" moment.

The Orson Welles "just do anythin?" never fails to make me lol.

One day I searched for scribe65 and freaked out a little bit thinking this channel was gone. Your channel is a true golden nugget in today's KZread.

when we needed him most…

Those 3rd party peripherals saved modular mac owners a lot of money. One of my friends special ordered a skeleton mac iisi with no keyboard, mouse, memory or hd. He then bought MacAlly keyboard a higher amount of 3rd party memory and larger HD. Even with the upgrades it was still way cheaper than the stock system.

Ah, the iconic 7 ball used everywhere

Wow, what a "gold mine" stash of truly vintage Apple Computer items. My eyes lit right up when, I saw an All-in-One G3 (molar mac). If working, I would have paid lots of money, to be able to add one of these desktop systems to my collection (smile...smile).

Yeah, best KZreadr is back!

There is something luxurious about naming a product the 'Silhouette' - shame the build quality didn't quite reflect.

That's true. I saw it there when I picked the Powerbook 520's out of the hoard. I actually made a trip back to buy it because it stuck in my mind.

One of my favorite KZread channels is back! I am so happy, these videos are always a memorable delight!

RETURN OF THE KING

Who else watched all the way to the end of the outro music hoping for an Oil Museum easter egg? Great video, and a shoutout to all who still use Kensington Turbo Mouse (now Expert Mouse) trackballs today!

HES BACK! HES BAAAACK! SOUND THE VILLAGE BELLS HES BACK!

The legend has returned with another video! 🎉

Please, don't ever leave us again 😢

That was so true about the top shelf in the computer store (and that shot was so cleverly-staged). I think one of the reasons slow-moving items were put up top was to reduce sun fading of the boxes, since shops had windows back then. A LocalTalk PC Card would be really useful to me about now, but sadly, an 8-bit ISA version wouldn’t fit any PC made since about 1995. I can see why they didn’t go anywhere if they weren’t sold by then

OMG I had a Silhouette. I used it with my Mac IIsi. I loved it. For years I kept the balls, but at some point they and I parted ways. I still miss them.

I have had great success with retr0briting those white iMac / Power Mac G4 keyboards, using the clear hydrogen peroxide 'salon care' liquid. Restored several last year including one that looked just like yours (yellowed all over) and it came out great, although disassembling them fully to isolate the back plate is kind of a pain. Still bright white about 6mos later.

WELL ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU RELEASED A NEW VIDEO!!!

6:19. I'd guess the yellow and green balls are cosmetical replacement options for the default white whereas the red and purple are true different weight options. I'm not sure how different the purple one would feel compared to the red one being only 10 grams apart, though.

Great video! I use two Apple Extended Keyboards daily, and I just adore the thing. I have a few AEK2's as well, but its keys feel very mushy compared to the AEK1's crisp click. It got retrobrighted it a while ago using hydrogen peroxide cream that you can buy at any hairdressers' wholesale store and a ton of cleanfilm. I practised on something broken, and the process isn't difficult at all. I didn't bother about removing/covering the Apple logo and it wasn't affected as far as I can see, though.
