The worst part is, I know this ad.

[@BenjaminEarlMusic]

"lets watch ads from the 80's!" literally the second ad is from the late 90's/00's

Yeah, I don't even understand why the title and description refer to the 80's at all...

[@MuhammadAli-jd2ut]

This is cool. We've never seen Austin like this, sitting in his chair and reacting to videos. Usually they're in their studio with the staff making videos. This is more laid back. Obviously, these videos take hard work to make as well, but, you know what I mean.

[@wikwayer]

You should look into the research on the xerox alto, they had GUI ideas in the 1970s more advanced than the 90s and could change the way it ran by rewriting the code of the system WHILE IT WAS STILL RUNNING

[@turle8645]

@@Splackavellie85 notice how I said computers and not mobile devices. apple has been doing pretty good with affordable mobile devices don't get me wrong but keep in mind that the base model mac pro is literally 6000$ when a 3000$ pc can be 3x as fast if you know where to buy parts. seriously. grow up and stop getting so triggered when someone insults a company that you follow like it's a cult. and dont you dare act like you deliberately search for youtube comments that make fun of apple just to get triggered over it because your opinion is better than everyone else's.

[@Splackavellie85]

Jefferton Ahyeeoobee Ahh, more parroting of the non argument of “cultist” behavior. You do realize that mobile devices are also computers right? Operating system? Check. GUI? Check. Performs computing tasks? Check? Does pretty much everything a desktop computer does for 95% of the users? Check. But keep coming up with more specific parameters to make your statement less ridiculous, I guess.

[@Splackavellie85]

Jefferton Ahyeeoobee Also, work on your grammar, because that last sentence was contradictory as hell. But sure, I’m the triggered one.. Nevermind that you’re the one foaming at the mouth right nkw

[@turle8645]

@@Splackavellie85 ahh, the classic argument of "WeLl It dOeS tHiNgS A CoMpUtEr DoEs sO tHaT mEaNs ItS a ComPutEr" look up "computer" and tell me how long it takes until you see an image of a smartphone or tablet. Even apple says that the ipad isnt really a computer. like the "what's a computer" ad or the quotes for iPad section on apple's website "like a computer, unlike any computer" "your next computer is not a computer" notice the part where it says it is NOT a computer when you say "computer", 95% of people tend to think of a desktop or laptop. please, stop making useless arguments about someone making a fucking joke in a youtube comment. Its lame as fuck and makes you look like an asshole.

5:22 why is Austin laughing at himself?

[@frowlinian8175]

"Kids can probably understand a Macintosh today" Idk if you're around kids very often but the idea that not every screen is a touch screen just blows the mind of my niece. I dont think she'd be able to fathom a mouse let alone something not connected to the internet or floppy disks

Austine you are the best youtuber

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

We never really got anything like those scam software adverts in the UK that I remember as our advertising rules have tended to be pretty strict generally. Actually most of the advertisement featured would never have been shown over here as they simply wouldn't have worked in many cases. The Steve ballmer one is bonkers though!

[@Splackavellie85]

The Palm Pre was awesome. It had arguably the best UI at the time. Definitely better than Android, and intuitive gestures that Apple didn’t start implementing until the iPhone X. I loved that thing

[@xureality]

10:40 funny that. Around 1986 Apple bought a cray supercomputer supposedly to do electrical simulations for the next Mac. Seymour Cray, when told about this said "That's interesting, because I'm designing the next Cray with an Apple!"

In the 80’s and 90’s we use to program the hand held cell phones to work for free. We’d sell them $2000 a pop and charged $500 everytime they needed to be reprogrammed which was just putting in a code and changing the phone number by one digit. Easy money

The original Macintosh cost about $6000 in equivalent money back in 1984, so that's likely why she couldn't afford a car and had to take it home on her bike.

"No one is taking their Mac in the giant carry case home". Speak for yourself, Austin. Back in the early 90s, I traveled (by car) all over the Eastern US with my Mac Classic in a case just like this (and an ImageWriter II, to boo) in my van. I lived for months at a time out of my van and hotels with my Mac. People did it. They really did. Oh, and then I got a Newton MessagePad, and was able to leave my Mac at home. :-)
