"Time makes fools of us all" - and I have nothing BUT time!

I’m a long time Mac guy, a Mac II with Aldus Pagemaker, Multi Ad Creator, and Illustrator as my day-to-day environment. The last video was great, as this one is. Thanks for the trip down memory lane… life is SO much simpler today.

A very informative and comprehensive explanation Steve. I learned a few new things I didn't know. Thank you!

Same here. When growing up, I saw very few Apple systems in the wild. Other than Apples in schools, the few Apples I ran into were home systems owned by teachers. After graduating from junior college, I got a job at ZDS in their repair depot. On the other side of the wall in the building we were in was the Heath Educational Store. Because of the education discounts and later demand from educators, the Apples/ Macs out sold the ZDS products. They eventually dropped Apple products due to conflict of interest. The storefront shut down soon afterwards.

That IIci takes me back to college. Nice!

This is great, I love the format (and excellent evergreen content)! .. also 15:23 NO 😂

Great Job Steve Thanks for the tips

Jeez, leave some information for other folks to share! 😂 Truly, great video; so much great stuff in here!

Yep, that is now on the list of topics to cover in the future. 👍 Thankfully these days there is more than one way to do it.

Please cover Laplink Mac

Hey there... you had given me a link to some folks who might be able to bring some life into my ancient IIcx. I lost the page. Can I impose upon you again to provide it one more time? Sorry, and thanks.

It was likely www.TinkerDifferent.com - there's a lot of folks who hang out there that may be able to help, good luck!

‘Will it run Doom’ Answer; no Used and loved these macs when I was a kid. But man they were slow! The Performa 430 is one of the best looking computers ever made though.

Haha, they’ll run Doom - but you’ll probably want a Power Macintosh as anything slower will struggle to get a respectable frame rate without a thumbnail window size.

If you compare, lets say, a 40mhz 68040 mac, to a 40mhz 486, they both run Doom similarly, the major difference is that the dos pc is able to output the monitor to 320x200 resolution so the picture appears bigger, most older macs just can't change resolutions on stock displays so you're stuck with 640x480 and a small picture in the middle or a massive performance hit if you try to make it larger and stretch it closer to 640x480

@@thomasb.900 that’s really interesting. Explains a lot! I was just thinking the other day, after watching a 100% playthrough of Prince of Persia. Why some Mac games looked so much better. PoP, Wolfenstein etc. Looked and sounded so much better than on pc. What was the reason?

@@Thomas1984. that i can't tell you, maybe some of these games were more optimized for the mac, all i know is people tend to trash talk the mac port of doom and i think it's not 100% fair because of the resolution thing i pointed out

Imagine if you apply for a new job and the this guy is the owner, you get to your cubicle and theirs this Apple Macintosh classic there, what is your first thought
