Don't change your camera until you physically have to. There's a charm to the aged look. That said, awesome to see you posting a video again.

[@CoreyDeWalt]

Vwestlife has a similar camera and similar accent, wonder if it's the same guy?

[@65scribe]

No, not the same guy.

[@65scribe]

Definitely more 'for' than 'against' the old camera look in the feedback. I'm glad people aren't stuck on wanting HD, because it's a much easier to frame shots and focus on the subject with the more narrow aspect.

[@gblargg]

Maybe the interlace artifacts can be fixed, though.

[@AntoninPoitou]

@@65scribe hey just a suggestion: I'm using a modern"ish" computer with my old Acer CRT from the early 2000s (works great, vibrant colors) and most videos, even when the "actual" video is in 4:3, is RENDERED in 16:9: your camera shots and most of the archival footage you use are in this video are already in4:3 (except from 1:16 til 5:00 or so), so why not making the whole video in 4:3 at that point? You would be the first (and only to my knowledge) retrocomputer KZbinr to do so since the advent of HD KZbin!

I think we all have an unrequited childhood crush on that tour guide. What an incredibly special day you guys had back in '98. As a tour guide it was probably a quiet day: so she had all the time to laugh it up with you guys. I too was once experienced such a fun afternoon with a service rep who was bored of her job. We too laughed it up. I still think of that day from time to time.

In addition to being an amazing day just because 65scribe posted a video, I had an incredible discovery watching it and I want to share my story with you all: I live in Brazil, and since I was a child I was very fond of apple, but, as you can imagine, it’s not easy to find old devices around here. When I was 16, in 2013, I found a guy in my city on the internet selling an iMac G3 from the first month of manufacture with the original mouse and keyboard. I got there and found out he was an accumulator, living with his grandmother and she wanted him to get rid of all the “trash in her house”. At the time, everything I knew about Apple was very mainstream, so all I was interested in was seeing the iMac G3 working. But as the guy needed to get rid of a lot, he looked at me and said: hey, if you like vintage macs, I have a powermac here that i know nothing about, I don't have a mouse or keyboard for it, I don't know if it works or not, and if you want it is yours, free of charge. I wanted, he gave me the computer and a VGA adapter. I brought it home, found a site of old macs software, downloaded System 7, burned it to a CD and boot it. The computer turned on, everything seemed to be working, but since I didn't have the ADB mouse or keyboard and finding used ones around here is an impossible mission, I couldn't do anything except watch that old computer powered on and its noise. I turned everything off, wrapped the computer in plastic and kept it for all these years, to remember about it today and, while watching the video, unroll it from the plastic to find out that I have a perfectly functional PowerMac 8100/100 at home, in Brazil, with all drive bezels and in good cosmetic condition. Now I'm very excited to open it and clean it well, since today I know more about it, and if possible find an ADB keyboard and mouse to be able to restore this computer in all its glory

A coworker gave me her 8100 when she got a G3. It was a really nice machine. We had the 8600 at work running the then new Quark 4.0 and Indesign 1.0 (Trash that Adobe almost immediately upgraded to 1.5). Our 8500 was the Laserwriter 8500. We were using a Itek platemaker and quickly learned that the 8500 had a flaw and didn't actually print at 100%, not great for printing camera ready copy. Oh 90's apple you crazy kids.

[@65scribe]

Great first-hand account of Apple equipment in use in the 90’s. Thanks Ray!

[@lorensims4846]

Whee! OMG, other peoples' computers, right? Sheesh! After I met my future wife online (on Genie), I moved to be with her in California in the summer of '93. Together we started a home desktop publishing and graphic design company with the Macintosh IIsi, Apple LaserWriter NTR and Apple OneScanner that she got with her education discount from the local junior college. When the PowerPC Macs started comping out we upgraded to a Performa 637CD and a Performa 638CDV. We were not interested in new tech when our business was really booming. Besides, Apple was clearly confused about where they were going and we weren't ready to bet on their future at that time. I was working on a Quadra 800 at the local junior college, which brought me here because the 8100 reminds me of that one. Delightful and fun video! Thanks!

Yes, that was done amazingly fast after I released the video. Hats off to them! I did most of this video in the spring and summer last year before I got pulled away from it for 5 months. At the time, it was maddening to see my changes reverted after I did this whole piece for the video about me making the correction... and then I figured, that just makes the story better! I'm just sorry to any wayward souls who went searching for the 110AV during that time.

Thanks for the video. I was overseas for 20 years, and the Power Mac 8100 was in a series of storage sheds. For the last month after unpacking it, I could not start it up. But tonight, just on a whim, I tried again, and finally the hard drive kicked in and it lives again. Now I need to figure out how to hook it to wifi. No hurry. I have a handful of new Macs to use. While I was elsewhere I used a G5 heavily, and the machine was a workhorse. I mean seven days a week, 10 hours a day spewing out text, graphics and emails.

Good to hear you liked the Marathon piece! It took a bit of memory work of how to mod that game, but a lot of fun making a video around the 1984 theme. Great that you found a starter kit. More rare than the computer itself. The 8100 is a tough one to find, though one got posted locally just as I was finishing this video (just to prove me wrong, I think), but it's quite a major fixer-upper.

"It doesn't do anything?" by good ol' Orson Welles, I have no idea why, just keeps getting funnier. When I went to college, a friend had one of these.

"If I could just get one of those I'd be a REAL musician" was not far from thoughts in my head. I'm still impressed by these things!
