Looking at old Apple manuals

[@krautcontent1608]

You're totally right. If it's a hobby and it stops being fun and starts to become a burden it's time to take a break. Plus from a viewer's pov: I like a channel with suboptimal lighting, non regular scedule and lowfi audio but real enthusiasm better than professional youtube with scripted content. Your fun and quirky personality is what makes your channel. I don't miss weekly videos. I don't miss hour long videos. I don't miss production quality. I'd miss it if your personality got lost. Don't let modern youtube crush you! :-)

[@awesomeferret]

I mostly agree especially as far as lighting goes, but as far as audio goes, it's just so cheap (relatively speaking) to have good audio. 500 bucks gets you prosumer equipment that you will likely be able to use until it breaks (it won't be outdated in five years like a camera). So having bad audio is a lot more "offensive" to the viewer than bad lighting because it's easier and cheaper to have good audio than good lighting and high end cameras. What always gets my goat is how KZbin channels will have decent equipment and then not downmix voice recordings to mono so there will be artifacting or maybe no audio in one channel at all. So it definately isn't as simple as "get better equipment to make your sound better".

[@awesomeferret]

@@amystery5238 one big exception is Digital Foundry, they are a corporate channel that does it better than most smaller channels (even sometimes better than My Life in Gaming, which has a similar theme and production value but is more retro focused and much smallernd not corporate run).

[@krautcontent1608]

@@amystery5238 "like I'm at a friend's house goofing around with computers and whatever, just having some fun." This is what I mean. It's relatable and fun.

I'm actually considering getting one for my Linux media server project. I tried to build it a while back, had the whole thing together, then the hard drive died.. (btw, it's going to be as lightweight as possible, running tiny core. I'm gonna use it to backup stuff from my phone onto it.)

[@davet231]

kaity kline Seems a bit of overkill unless you’re backing up IRL live-streams or something like that.

[@verylongchannelhandle]

weird

[@unfortunatelyswagged6226]

Okay, the manual at 11:23 contains instructions for how to read the other manuals. This means we _will_ have sequel to the "Windows OS-ception" video where this time Druaga1 reads manuals on how to read more manuals.

[@bluephreakr]

To store spiral-bound books vertically _ideally,_ you would have the bindings facing away from one another, alternating direction in a stack. It prevents or lessens deformity of the bindings and book pages

[@an2qzavok]

A lot of early computing was about publishing, and office nerds just wanted to play with their toys and flex their skills, which probably contributed more to abundance of quality manuals during that era than any silly things like respect for consumer and such.

[@0xc0ffea]

Apple : Don't turn it on, take it apart ! ... damn, those were indeed the days.

Don't worry Druaga, we just go here to see you and hang out with you, blazingly simple.

[@yjk_music]

I'm really young and I don't know a lot about old computers, but I think it's clear that Apple tried to make IIgs as a "Fun" computer. Iigs manual looks really fun, and IIgs had better graphics, sound, Apple II backwards compatibility, and really fun demo disk(the one that you demonstrated in previous video).

[@verylongchannelhandle]

@@amystery5238 I tend to avoid debian based distros if I can because I just don't like how they work. I've been using arch and arch based distros for over a year and I gotta say, pacman is so easy to use I can't go back to debian's package manager

[@roscoejustros]

@@amystery5238 I guess the AUR is part of why pacman is so good. I've only been using gnu/linux for about a year and I love how the AUR has the latest versions of all the software I want and yes, arch can break sometimes due to this but I'd rather have to repair my OS than use outdated software. Also, arch is not as hard to set up as other people think. Most people who think arch is hard use a gui installer to set up their computer.

[@kmemz]

With that intro, and your explanation as to the spotty uploads, I understand and support you. Even if the algorithm™ destroys you view-wise, I will continue to watch, whether you upload every day, bi-weekly, weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, even yearly I'll still watch your videos. I remember when I first found your channel, quite a while before I had taken my CIT college course, and a lot of that stuff was very inspirational for me. I had already delved fairly deep into the world of technology, but seeing all these niche operating systems, odd-brand SSDs, the rigged hardware setups, all of it... I was inspired. As a tech enthusiast, there are a lot of very interesting nichés that I never would have much more than known existed if not for your videos. Apologies for the shoddy japanese, but ありがと　で　さよなら.

[@lameashecc467]

i understand the need for a break. i hope you find your flow and make videos again soon, i miss watching your crazy antics

[@GBlastMan]

is good to see old manuals like that, i never had any kind of apple product before but im always intrigued by the whole presentation and goodies apple used to make with their products back in the old days. The manuals that showcases the interior of the computers i assume are before Steve was at full on charge of Apple, the thing of not showcasing stuff and other things was because i believe he thought this could showcase to other people that wanted to make an "apple clone" flooding the market with cheap clone Macs so Steve didnt wanted that because it could harm Macs reputation and sales, of course i know almost nothing of Apple's story just a handful of stuff so maybe im talking up my ass here so anybody that reads this take it with a huge grain of salt. I have manuals but for other stuff but PC things, i do remember having a Genius fly stick with a pretty good looking manual that came also with a free copy of Al Unser Jr Racing, dunno why they packed a FLY STICK with a formula 1 racing game and not something like Wing Commander 2 or 3 or even Microsoft Fly Simulator, heck even X-Wing or Tie Fighter could had been better than a freaking supar formula 1 racing game. The funny thing was that my father brought that joystick so he could play Rebel Assault 2 with it, not knowing that the game hadn't support for that particular joystick, so he spent like a whole afternoon cursing with the PC because he couldt even play the game with his brand new Genuis fly stick going back and foward with the windows 95 joysticks and Mouse calibrating the joystick but not getting the game to recognize the joystick, he even installed and uninstalled Rebel Assault 2 like 10 times in a row, he went and installed and uninstalled the drivers for the joystick and still the game didnt wanted to recognize the joystick, he even went to the place that brought the joystick and Rebel Assault 2 and made them to see what was going on and they just told him that the game doesnt recognize the joystick because it isnt supported by it, so he spent like 3 days straight trying to get RA2 to run with the joystick but he didnt even read in the manual that certain games maybe wont support the joystick at all. Years later i found out how to make that joystick run with the game but the downside is that menus, 3rd person shooting sections and so on were a bitch to control, so it wasnt even worthed so i ended up using the joystick for games like Descent 3 and Freespace since that was the whole propòse of the thing anyway, and my father played with the joystick with Rogue Squadron and Star Wars Racer so was a win-win situation after all.

Going by the packing list P/Ns and manuals, your Apple IIgs was a ROM 01 machine shipped in mid 1987 to whenever in 1988 they started shipping System 4.0 (GS/OS). The System Disk User's Manual covers System 3.x (still ProDOS 16) and the then-new 16-bit Finder.

In 29:00 i think you can't put the drive over the Mac (or next to over something) because the Crt monitor can damaga the floppy insde it, or cause wrong data reading/writing.
