The one Macintosh that probably created the most stir in all of Macdom was the ill-fated Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh. If you can get your hands on one, it's worth a video. There is so much history surrounding this beast. The best part was the product's introduction, which also featured the return of Steve Jobs to the stage with Amelio. Jobs HATED the TAM. You could see it on his face when the product rose up from the stage. Jobs wouldn't even look at it, just stood looking straight ahead, sneering at the audience. One of the first things Jobs did when he staged his coup was to kill the TAM. The problem this thing had was that the production orders were so small that not one of the internal product managers wanted to take on the project. They saw it as a massive waste of resources (which turned out to be very true). But Amelio felt it would be his signature product. "I made PROMISES!" he once shouted at his direct reports when they told him that no one wanted to work on it. The story of how Bose got its fingers in the product is a great one, too, particularly how Bose managed to put the power supply inside the subwoofer, which by virtue of the subwoofer's lowpass characteristics removed the power supply's fan whine! Hence the now-infamous "fire hose." Finally, there was the dreaded TAM Buzz that no one at Apple managed to solve. Or wanted to solve.

That's a big 'if' as far as getting hold of a TAM, but you're right. It has a great story, and some of your information I've never heard before. Very interesting! I talked a bit about the TAM in the G4 Cube video, partly because I figured that's as close as I would get to talking about the TAM in this series. Thanks for sharing that!

Good ol' Concertware. The synthesis method it used for the instruments was surprisingly flexible, being a blend of FM and waveform synth. You could either have it calculate the waveform based on harmonics you selected, or you could freehand draw a waveform for some truly weird results. Add in the highly flexible envelope controls, and you could get just about any sound profile you wanted short of direct sampling. The 4 channel limitation (8 when controlling an external MIDI device) was its biggest drawback, but ProTracker, one of the Amiga's most popular music programs, had the same 4 channel limit. Not sure what to make of the song melting down like that. Didn't really sound like the Concertware I'm used to, though that could just be recording techniques. The off-pitch and jumbled notes makes me think editing, but was it editing the song in Concertware, or in post production?

@65scribe

4 жыл бұрын

Interesting information! Thanks! The jumbled mess of 'The Entertainer' was because, back in the day, I pirated a rental copy of Concertware, and one of the previous renters decided to save his "work" back to the rental disk. In these modern times, I downloaded the 'unaltered' version of Concertware from Macintosh Garden, and that tune sounds MUCH better. Rapper 'Double Def DP' was right that software theft does not pay.

As always, excellent work.

The hardware is a 2008 MacPro, which has served me flawlessly for almost 12 years (except that optical drive drawer!) the software was Final Cut Express 3.5, but I stepped up to Final Cut Pro 7 for this last video. The video is filmed in SD 4:3 but upscaled to HD 720p before I upload, which does improve the picture quite a bit compared to my older SD uploads, but, unfortunately, won't show in proper 4:3 on your awesome displays.

Not sure, but since there was no floppy in the drive at that point, I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually running anything. Probably just powered it on for the gag anyway. Also, up until about System 6, the shutdown command did what the later restart command did. Specifically, ejecting any floppies still in their drives and doing a soft reset of the system, at which point you could turn it off safely.
