This is the famous Windows 1.0 parody "advertisement" shown internally at Microsoft, now in glorious 60FPS and high-quality audio! Surreal to think this was only previously available in a highly compressed form for over a decade.

The Nebraska thing refers to an antiquated Bell telephone rule that really existed in the 80s. Many 800 toll-free numbers were based in Nebraska because that area had an excess of available numbers. But according to the Bell rule, 800 numbers could not be used for both in-state calling and out-of-state calling. So companies would advertise an 800 toll-free line for use across the country, except the number really would not function if called from within Nebraska. Nebraska wasn't all that important to them, so that state would call in on a different line, or not at all.

I don't know why people in the comments are surprised on how smooth the video is. Almost all analog cameras that didn't record on film always looked like this. I believe video quality got worse throughout the 00s because of early internet video. Digital video doesn't look that bad on DV/Digital8 tape or DVDs, but the hype didn't last for that long for those formats. Instead of shooting on camcorders, we have been moving on to DSLR/digital cameras, action cameras, and smartphones, which will obviously not look as impressive as analog/early digital camcorders look and usually have a choppy framerate and a shitty digital zoom that just crops the image. I still shoot on camcorders, and many people don't even realize how good it looks if you deinterlace it properly, or watch it on a CRT screen.

@@TK-mj9rd The easiest way to get a 1 (800) number (a toll-free number) was to do it in Nebraska. However, it couldn't be used in Nebraska, so you had 2 options. 1: Make a number for Nebraska and one for every other state or 2: Make a number for every state EXCEPT Nebraska.

@@TYX8926 The audio was originally uncompressed when digitizing this tape and was later compressed into a large MKV with lossless FLAC audio (I always keep my raw recordings for future purpose). The upload here in particular is upscaled seeing as KZbin won't allow videos below 720p to be in 60FPS. Knowing they like to handle videos under their own encoding methods, it's advised to download my copy from Internet Archive for the best quality.

VHS tapes had very good audio quality once VHS HiFi became available, very close to CD audio quality and by far the best analog audio tape format in the home market. This tape is from '95, which by then had VHS HiFi be the standard for prerecorded material. A lot of people associate VHS tapes with poor quality audio, which is mostly a misconception or due to experiences with pre-VHS HiFi audio (which was pretty terrible).
