Don’t forget that Apple didn’t invent the GUI. That was a Xerox project, and Steve Jobs and co. basically copied and improved on it over the years.

Oh yes, love that sordid story 🤙🏼

I need to watch this, ty ty

Truth be told, it wasn’t exactly theft because Xerox PARC was more than willing to demonstrate their projects for anyone and there was no NDA required. The story of Xerox corporate ignoring the brilliant work being done at Palo Alto because it didn’t fit their business model is a tale as old as time.

I am here for the entire thread. Who else went into shocking levels of credit card debt in university to buy one of these? Just me?

Oh shoot, I remember this! These were the best!

I had the Power Mac G4 in graphite. It was a gift from a collection of relatives. 😁

Beauty!

This becoming a hellthread? 😂😅😂

No way. Retro thread.

😉

I love retro computing

Me too! Some really cool stuff

This one

This is old… yo what is it?

The Macintosh II. We had tons of those in my school.

Wow! 💾 drives!

3.5” disks perfect for:

- Oregon trail

- math blaster

- where in the world is Carmen San Diego

Although I think I played the latter on an IBM.

I need to get Oregon trail!

Oregon trail and Zaney golf are top notch

This brings me back

Classic

Wow! Yes! This was the best game ever!

You can get Oregon Trail but please don’t get Dysentery lol

Lol, for sure… did anyone else name the people in your group after your friends!?

We rocked the iiGs

We had Apple IIes in high school. Remember Print Shop?

Oh woooooow I would spend weekends on print shop

No joke

It would take a whole weekend just to print out a Happy Birthday banner.

True. And it was worth it.

Precisely. Doesn’t get better than that

And the perforated printing paper that was connected like a folded roll of toilet paper… priceless

Dot matrix screeching death!

And the printer ribbon runs out in the middle of the job so the banner just kind of fades out at the end…

A lesson in impermanence.

I’m getting nostalgic and want to bring back iiGS

I was THAT kid in elementary school (1993) who printed out his homework on our brand new goldstar computer (funny enough I never actually owned a Mac until this year).

Print Shop was mind blowing at the time. And now we have OpenAI.

It’s just like perfection, flawless too.
