More tech history, boys and girls, more Apple Macintosh history, that it. I never owned any of the original Macintosh models, but used one in 1990 when I wrote for the Entertainment section of Cal State Fullerton’s Daily Titan newspaper. All the other sections of the newspaper ran on AT&T PC-clones (yes, AT&T had their own PC-clones back in the day). All I remember is that writing columns and reviews on that Macintosh could be quite frustrating, because one almost always got stuck in a floppy disk swapping mode when trying to save documents. 

So, the appeal is totally nostalgic because any time I had access to a Macintosh it was mostly eye candy and didn’t really do the things that I needed at the time. At least this was true up until I started video editing (which really sucked on PCs) and the iMacs were introduced. Thus, though I’d been purchasing and supporting my own computers since 1979, I didn’t get my first Mac until 2001. But that’s a story for another time. Enjoy the video.
