32 years later I'm streaming this video over a worldwide network faster than almost any LAN from back then, on a $500 laptop that's more powerful than the best supercomputer, with storage who's transfer speed is the same as the capacity of a $2000 hard drive, and all on an LCD that put's any CRT monitor to shame.

What's really funny to me is how regularly they pass off stuff that, in the current day are seen as "money-makers" and therefore, "adult," as "toys." A lot of the time, simply because computing wasn't that widely adopted, or user-friendly, and therefore the money to be made off the back of it was limited. Now, for example, the successors of that "morphing software" that was shown a few episodes ago, is part of any and every video editing or graphics package, and is invaluable to making impressive visual effects. But, the true defining factor that underpins that value is the fact that people are interested, and it, in the end, generates ad dollars in various ways. It ultimately has nothing to do with being perceived as a toy, or not a toy, it's just how much you can milk from it by dangling ever-shinier things in front of a public that engages more with things advertised alongside it, as a result.

I made pulseaudio do it on my Linux machine so I could watch the video on KZbin normally. First list sinks, then copy and paste the appropriate one after master=, then select it as output in the normal sound settings. pacmd list-sinks | grep name: pacmd load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=mono channels=2 channel_map=mono,mono master=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

16:08 Premiere was originally called “ReelTime”. It was written by Randy Ubillos at SuperMac, and bundled with the VideoSpigot as you see here. Then SuperMac transferred ownership (and the developer) to Adobe, who renamed the product Premiere. I had the version of the VideoSpigot for the Mac LC. I think it could capture 160×120 resolution at about 15fps, Ah, in those days we could only dream of 320×240 resolution ...

The Video Toaster was groundbreaking, but it was analog-only. Within just a few years, video production would move to digital, and leave the Toaster behind. Apple’s QuickTime was pretty cool: from the beginning it was supposed to be a generalized architecture for dealing with time-based data, i.e. not just audio and video. There were options for MIDI and text tracks, and custom media handlers that programmers could create. Unfortunately, the suits decided that they had to monetize this somehow. So the “QuickTime Pro” thing came in, and it all went downhill from there.
