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.

5:22 Late Ross Perot at far right. He invested (and rescued) Steve's Next Computer from bankruptcy. He also ran for President in 1992 as a 3rd party candidate.
27:01 Urine color. Damn!
13:16 Damn!
4:37 11:23 Damn!
The Power Mac 9600 is what the 9500 should've been. Better case, PCI cards secured by screws, more front drive bays, etc.
So detailed and funny video and loving this 90’s filter or something like that ❤
Thanks very much! It’s actually just using a 2003 model camera to film it, which is the old standard definition 4:3 screen.
Really good to see the Back to the Future set as filming for part 2 was about to take place.
This is not what I expected on this channel...
2010-2013 was a bit more experimental :)
I wonder what ever happened to the girl who guided you and your mate around the old oil museum back in '98
❤ love your videos! Always enjoy and anticipate the next one ❤
Thanks so much for watching and for the great feedback!
Great video! Loved your narration as well.
Thanks very much, Robert. Narration is not my strong suit, so that’s great to hear!
Is “heh?!” (instead of “huh?”) a common Canadian thing? I’ve heard it from several Canadian yt people now
Hmmm.. I’m not sure where I picked that up. I just wanted to say “huh?” but with emphasis. Might be a Canadian influence.
I cannot begin to tell how much I love this channel and its videos. Thank you so much for making them.
I appreciate that very much, William! Great to know that you enjoy my work so much.
You'd think the iPhone SE name didn't make sense but they've been using that moniker long before.
really great video. the g5 certainly has "unique" engineering. the era of ppc desktops from AIM alliance to the end deserves to be remembered for how valiant the fight was.
Very well put! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the G5’s legacy.
great video as always! i have a 2.3dp and love it.
Thank you! You have one of the best configs there, nice!
No copyright strike for the Unreal Tournament music?
No, none of that music is on KZread‘s radar.
1:00:53 this is one of the moments why I love this channel so much!
Thanks as always for the positive feedback. Great to know you liked that part.
My Powerbook G4 looks like a Sony product. In fact, Sony made a Palm Pilot copy that looks like the Powerbook G4!
That’s true now that you say it. Interesting about the Palm Pilot!
$10 got me my G5 tower. $20 got me my Mac Pro 1,1! One board and I had a park bench, tho' I ran El Capitan on my Mac Pro 1,1 for probably 6 years before the park bench conversion happened.
That’s excellent when you can get them for less than scrap value, and make a bench out of them! I’ll say I used this particular case as a chair for the entire edit of this video. My wife would be using it and ask where the computer is. :)
Did you ever get the StyleWriter up and running again?
Not yet. Always another project to get in the way. It still sits there reminding me, though. :)
This video came out at a great time, I just acquired a G5 Quad off of Marketplace about a week ago for 40$. I inspected the liquid cooling system and all looked well. Powered right up, I was shocked. My first G5 machine and I love it. I got quite the laugh out of the Intervention clips.
That’s an impressive deal! Glad to hear you got one to mess around with. The Intervention episode took some time to track down, so I’m happy to hear it was worth it.
Dude, your editing and delivery on this are so incredible. Super underrated channel. Subscribed. Why are you so funny? Is this boomer humor? Am I real? What's GOING ON!?!
Thanks so much for feedback and the sub! However, your questions I am not equipped to answer. :)
6 slots!!
‼️If you think it’s funny “celebrating Diversity” with the clip you made, go look at the G4 Quicksilver intro vid. Of the seven people they show on screen, SIX are ✡️’s. I’m not making this up. ✡️’s only make up 0.2% of the world population. Explain that 🧐
At 52:25 you’re thinking of it the wrong way. If you wanted to use dual DVI displays on an early G5 you bought the much cheaper ADC to DVI adapter, which was just a dongle that redirected the DVI-D pins of the ADC connector back into a DVI layout. You only needed the $150 brick adapter to use two acrylic ADC displays with the G5.
You are correct. I think I can just delete that little bit. Thanks for the feedback.
‼️I’m from Poland. 🇵🇱 If you come to visit, please come to Majdanek camp. Bring the book by Jerzy Kwiatkowsi and use it as your tour guide, because I promise the people running the camp have a completely mixed up narrative and will lead you BACKWARDS through the intake process compared to the survivor tales. It’s almost as if they want to hide some kind of truth there idk it’s weird but Yeh please visit and notice the windows in the supposed “g@$ chambers” 😂 that place is a hoot!
The Cyrix 6x86 was great in integer math, and would often outperfom the Pentium clock-for-clock (hence the "PR Rating"), but the FPU was donkey balls which rendered it less than useful for 3D games that utilized it. Quake being a notable example. From what I remember A PR-200 part was at least a third slower than a Pentium 133MHz.
That’s interesting information. Thanks for sharing that. Sounds like it really depended on what you wanted to do.
Thank you for another wonderful video and taking me back to the ‘good old days’. The quality and level of care taken with your work is very hard to find. I hope you continue to enjoy an audience for many years to come.
Thank you! I appreciate that you recognize the effort that goes into the videos. Glad to know you enjoyed it, because I enjoy making them.
I would have been so hyped to play some original World of Warcraft one one of these bad boys.
I had a cube. It was beautifully limited but beautiful none the less.
Very well said!
This is.. absolutely incredible, I feel glued to watching the video! I've been trying to get my own channel up and out, covering unusual projects and modifications and whatnot. I'm struggling with views, but in your views I see humor, good storytelling, and a way with words. I hope to take some inspiration, this is great and entertaining. At last, someone else who covers the G5! haha
2:01 DAMN!
Begging for a damn, wasn’t it?
I unsubscribed from Act Man, it only took me about a week of watching his video before I realized how clueless he was.
I stayed for the error chords.
oh we are SO back
❤
"okay we don't need the sound effects" -- ha, but I *like* dumb sound effects sometimes.
Ha! Sure, take the side of my sound effects guy… (who is also me).
Love your videos, I hope you do an episode on the iBook someday, I'm definitely not biased with my stack of G4s and G3 Snows 😅
Good suggestion. Very iconic. I remember it being released, but I waited for the iBook G4 to get a laptop. Which Is so beat-up at this point but I still use it for some Photoshop work. It won’t die! Nice to see someone collecting those.
I used to love playing castles as a kid. That music brings back memories
Great to hear from someone who played the game. I’m glad it brought back memories.
I have a late 2005 dual core model that I got back between 2010-2011 that came pre-installed with loads of very expensive professional graphic and audio production software, that I desperately needed then, and that machine is still my ol' reliable for many things in that regard. I learned how to use Adobe CS2 software, on one when I was in Graphic Design school circa 2005, and wanted one of my own so badly back then, but that was an unfeasible pipe dream. Now that there's mad backlash to Adobe suite TOS, I'm really glad I never felt the need to upgrade to any version newer than CS-2 😂😅 I live in a cold climate, so it doubling as a space heater is actually bonus for the most part and the energy lost to heat isn't actually wasted whatsoever, unless circumstantually using it at noon on the hottest of summer days here, which is mostly avoidable anyway. 😊
That’s a great example of a good useful life for a G5 tower. I hope you got a good deal on it. That would make the story even better. I definitely agree that CS2 or CS3 is all you really need if you have a system that supports it. Love that you could use the G5 for heat as well. lol
@@65scribe Oh, I took it in an exchange for a day's from an awesome client I worked many years for. Got my car egged over it, cause some other woman at the establishment was trying to get it for her infant kid. Totally worth it. This dinosaur is workhorse. Which reminds me, 😹 I should back up the hard drives 😅 again real soon.
And yes, back up the hard drives. That G5 has ‘seen things us people would not believe….’
1 hour scribe video? I don't deserve this
I'm sorry about your Mom, now I understand why there is less humor in this video than usual...but I'm glad you're back in business!
Thanks very much for the condolences. The humour is generally an afterthought that gets added when reviewing the script or during editing, and I didn’t get the impression there was less in this video, so that’s interesting to hear. But I am getting back in business, yes!
58:55 small correction: Nintendo started using the PowerPC architecture with the GameCube in 2001. From a cpu point of view, the Wii is more or less an overclocked GameCube
That’s true. I wanted to quickly make the point that PowerPC was not just on Xbox in the console arena, but mixed up which came on board first.
58:57 Before the Wii the gamecube actually used the PowerPC as well. I was always really surprised by how accepting consoles were of PowerPC.
I never followed consoles very much, so I was surprised as well. Good point with the GameCube.
This channel was randomly recommended to me by the algorithm today. As someone who was born on the 80’s and whose father worked in the publishing industry, I’ve used almost every model of Mac you’ve gone through on your channel. Sometimes (rarely) the algorithm works as it should. Fantastic stuff right here.
Always great to hear from someone who came blindly into the channel and liked it. Especially someone who has a long history with Macs. Glad you took a chance on the algorithm!
More of the Petrolia tour guide! Such an innocent and joyful spirit! You guys were so fortunate to have spent such time with a carefree person. Thank you for sharing the memory.
I’ll never get sick of these videos. And Marathon references
Thanks so much! I’m glad they have some replay value… like Marathon.
The quality of this video reminds me of 2008 KZread.
I hope that’s a good thing.
@@65scribe it is, it’s nostalgic.
Good to hear!
Another Easter egg is, if you wiggled the mouse back-and-forth enough, it would make the flag fall off the flagpole
Hi Mike. I really did try to make that happen for the video but could not make it detach.
