More like super awkward and out of place 😂

My uncle used his Quadra as his work PC all the way through the 2000s for his barbershop when he finally got a new Windows PC. I was shocked it lasted that long.

yay emily is back

Sarah & Horst are the best!!!

I had a Mac that ran 7.5 way back when. Upgraded it to 8.5, maybe 9 before we got rid of it. Played the hell out of Warcraft 2 and X-Wing. Loved the OS. Even got it play multiplayer Warcraft 2 with my friend with his PC over serial. I loved how much easier it was to use than early Windows and especially DOS (which was on our earlier computers). The Mac lasted a lot longer to do more with it at better pace than my friend's PC.

[@damienlobb85]

What was your friends PC? I Know many people who had a similarly specced PC to a 97 Mac, and were able to upgrade it and even run Windows 2000 on it. Apple really were slowing down up until Jobs came onboard.

[@lywellyn0]

@@damienlobb85 unfortunately, I can't remember. It was some Dell enormous laptop. I think it ran Windows 98 at the time.

"How do I shoot?" - that would be whatever MACs version of the CTRL key is. A was jump, Z to crouch. Arrow keys to move forward, back and turn only - no strafing for you!

[@chrisw443]

This was the first computer I ever used. I have forever loved macs to this day. Took me a decade to get one of my own at 19.

I don't know if Emily was the main writer for this video, but I love how nearly every video they're in is simultaneously chaos and very well planned

[@Stuka87]

The LC475 was the first Mac I ever purchased for myself. Still have it too! I also added a 16MB RAM stick, which was quite expensive back in the day. However, The LC475 DID run MacOS 8. Which was a big jump over 7.5.5.

Emily finally returns! So glad to see that she's starting to feel comfortable making some on-camera (or slightly-off-camera, as the case may be) appearances again. Sending her all my support. Long Live the Retro Queen~

[@robertt9825]

She was on the episode with that weird Apple tablet a couple weeks ago :P

[@stellabckw2033]

yess! we support you!

Was super glad to Emily back too. One of my favorite hosts

I remember these from high school. This really was about the best you could get at the time. Windows 95 was crashing every 30 minutes, and that's being generous. In those days it was normal for restaurant computers to be down. Airport terminals that should display gates and departure times just had the blue screen of death on them. Medical equipment was crashing during surgeries. Microsoft finally got it together, but in 1996 Apple was the most solid home system. You could go with Windows NT at the time, which was stable, but... it wasn't common on home systems.

[@eDoc2020]

Windows 95 _should_ be much more stable when running native apps. If you were using old poorly written 16-bit programs crashes would be frequent due to the lack of memory protection in the Win16 system. Regarding special systems like restaurants and airports, I'm pretty sure most weren't running Windows back then. Simple DOS programs would be better.

[@IllusionInfusion]

My god, I grew up in a 100% Mac household. This is oozing with nostalgia for me. First time I saw ClarisWorks was on a Apple Color Classic which I'm pretty sure is older than that machine, but still had a Motorola 68k in it. KidPix, totally used that. At Ease stopped me from deleting important stuff when I was too young and stupid to know better. Oh man. You should do another episode just talking about old software that was actually pretty cool for the time, particularly for things that don't really have an analogous solution these days. Like, does anything like At Ease even exist for MacOS these days?

Fun video, how were you guys screen recording on the old mac out of interest? Great trick hooking it up to the internet archive ❤

[@ChrisRowe]

Nice to see Another World / Out of this world make an appearance in the games there. Very influential French game, back when France used to release technically ambitious and trippy games that really moved gaming forward - Flashback, Alone in the dark, Commander Blood, Dune, Litte big Adventure to name but a few others.

[@blatantdeception]

Flashback was mindblowing for then 12 years old me, spent countless hours playing it on my first computer, a hand-me-down LC 575 from dad.

[@jeremyvansanten9405]

That rare appearance from Emily makes me so happy

[@PixelatedLlama]

Modern MacOS still has "text to speech" with the same voices (and new ones)! You can change the voice in System Preferences/System Setting, I think in the accessibility menu.Then open a terminal window and type "say:" followed by a carriage return. Then, everything you type will be spoken.

[@FooPanda]

This tripped a memory of classmates playing around with it on OS X!

[@gabrielf111]

It's interesting that many or all of those text to speech sounds are still available in macOS today.

[@xAuthornx]

great to see Emily on the channel again! Missed her on anything Mac related

Hardware wise, this is much closer to a dos 6.22 machine with Windows 3.1 rather than a pentium with Win9x. Pretty sweet video!

[@albin998]

I grew up with windows 98 and I've never seen any old macs irl, but somehow this still feels very nostalgic to me

[@brettknoss486]

They started to be pushed later, but I don't remember anyone having one before 2001, and MacOS X.
