Just to let you know, your videos help with grief. My wife, of 18 years, passed away last Thursday, and watching this video in particular, relaxed me before bed, even though I know I won't actually sleep.

These videos are truly comedy gold

That little girl is watching this right now.... cringing..... and praying her kids never find it.

Man, your videos are a.maazing. Please keep on making more of these kind of videos. Your style, sense of humor, and knowledge of each product's history makes these videos so great to watch!! This didn't even feel like 20 minutes; it felt like a 5 minute video! Seriously, great work. Big fan.

These are hands down some of the best historical review style videos i've seen on KZfaq, and that's pretty much all I watch on here. Eagerly awaiting the next video! These are more watchable than those made by some KZfaqrs with half a million subscribers! Keep it up!

That ending 😂 The LCIII was my first home computer. I dread to think how many hours I spent on that thing. Popping the tabs on the back to lift the cover and look inside was always cool.

I have an old LC here with the full 10 M.Bytes of RAM and Ethernet card running OS 7.1. It sits idle in the corner of my room as a nostalgia piece, as memories of sitting in the university computer room a 4 AM banging away on a keyboard of an LC / LC II / LC III / LC 475 or Quadra 660 as a mature micro electronics and computing undergraduate in the mid 1990's (I was in my early 30's back then). Needless to say as engineers we had to be familiar with using Macintosh, PC and Sun so our work bounced around using all of them. PC for ECAD and circuit emulation, Mac for written work and Sun for FPGA building. This resulted in also having Mac and PC at home for work. I've had the LC, LC 475 and Quadra 660. I tend to horde old computers and still have my ZX80, ZX81 and Spectrums. When the power supply fell over on the LC I used the one out of my dead LC 475. Compared to the 1989 Compaq Deskpro 386s (80387 maths coprocessor, RLL HD, 4 M.Bytes of RAM modules) that it also sat next to at the time at home, the PC was more useful to an engineer for practical work than the LC, despite the latter having more memory. In the UK software support for the Mac LC was poor, not just games but engineering packages and compilers. Old PCs can also be retasked and adapted, something the LC cannot do.

"Don't copy that Floppy!" High quality editainment content that I subscibed for. Keep them commin, good sir.

This video takes me back to my Aunt giving me her complete LC setup in 1995 after she bought a newer model. Used it almost daily through 2000.

I watch your stuff on loop sometimes. It's like hedonistic timeless nostalgia. Your comedy chops are perfect and the catchphrase "Damn" gets a smile every-time. Can't thank you enough for doing these. Really, this means a lot tot he community.

I bought an Apple LC in 2001 for a few bucks at a thrift store. Set it up and put it on my home network for a couple years. It was a fun toy I used mostly for old games and photo editing.

My parents got me one of these brand new when I was in 1st grade, along with a HP DeskWriter C. Crazy to think how much that cost when adjusted for inflation. So many hours spent playing around with Kid Pix, Number Maze (black and white, no color!), Midnight Rescue!, and New Math Blaster Plus! We eventually upgraded to a Performa 6115CD after a few years, and the CD-ROM and AOL era began! Great memories!

Back in school we had Apple II and IIGS and then once those were retired our computer lab in school was upgraded to the Macintosh LC475

18:10 I had a LC2 for a while the last few years, and just for fun I used a solder sucker on that empty spot next to the cpu, dropped in a socket and an appropriate math co-processor and it works without wasting time with the PDS slot

I was waiting for that "welcome to the end of the computer age" and you did not disappoint lmao

The LC was the first computer I bought myself. Some fond memories. . .thanks.

Fantastic video. Consider changing your channel name, your videos are amazing, and you deserve better branding.

The LC was the first Mac that I ever used. I used it as a postdoctoral fellow starting in 1991. The model that I had was upgraded with 4 MB of RAM. I really enjoyed using it as part of my research. It led to me purchasing a Mac for home use.

I like how Apple purportedly tries to make their products environmentally friendly while also deliberately forcing their customers to buy new products sooner than should have to based on the actual hardware performance and capabilities of the products.

Holy crap, just found this channel. Loving this vid. :) The selection of clips is just great.

That "Don't Copy That Floppy!" was the most 90's thing I've ever seen.

I was on the fence about this video but started cracking up when you spoke to Brianna, thanks for the laughs! Keep up the great work! Ok, about died when getting to the "don't copy that floppy" section and am now wondering why you have so few subscribers... You deserve more, many many more. *clicks subscribe*

You deserve a heck of a lot more subs. You make fantastic videos.

Wow what a trip down memory lane, thanks for making this! Elsie was my very first computer.

"Low Cost" yet still nearly $2,500. Apple never changes.

My elementary school had a ton of these. If you were real lucky you got one of the few LC III's which could run a newer version of Kids Typing.

This was my first Mac. I remember lusting after the Mac II but seeing the crazy price list, I was discouraged. The LC was a great package at the time. I upgraded the RAM, hard drive, VRAM, and added a video spigot video digitizer card.

This video was uploaded in 2017, but it looks as if it was made in 2009 with movie maker lol.

Snow Leopard, to me, is like the iPhone 4. The classic that was my first Apple product and I feel set the bar for all others to follow. Snow Leopard was beautiful to look at, advanced, ran very well, and just was 'nice'. The 'eye candy' of OS X SL, coming from Windows, was just glorious. It will always be my favorite.

This is the best video I have ever watched on youtube

The capacitors in the LC power supply are all oddly sized and have some weird capacitance values, I had to special order most of them from Mouser.

Ah, the Mac that was designed by people who moonlighted delivering pizza.

make a video on the Mac Color Classic! actually... just make another video! i'm dyin over here

I'm happy I found your channel. These old mac video's are awesome to watch!

Always come back to watch this video. Love the editing and jokes.

I love the humor!! This is a gold of a find of a video!! Thank you for making this!

Shareware on System 7... so many memories. Often they worked, often they froze the Mac. I feel like setting up my old PowerMac and dig up my old CD´s and floppies with share and freeware, just for old times sake.

This is wonderful. I am so glad you included the don't copy that floppy references!

Great video! That ending was amazing!

Thoroughly enjoyable information. And your inclusion of Orson Welles added fun amusement!

Nice video. Keep it up. Looking forward to what you have planned next.

I love the design of this computer :)

I just happened to click on this video and I love your style.

My Parents bought one of these when I was a kid, I used to spend hours in Claris works making geometric spaceships.

Nice group of videos I have to confess i was a C64 then Amiga then Dos person at the time A big rivalry between the C64 and Apple 2 then Amiga and Macintosh / 2GS At work we had dumb terminals, but later on about 4 x 286 NEC's ( yeah that was 4pc's to about 60 people ) I later moved to another section and found Mac SE and SE30 that wrote on IBM PC floppy, that section had 1 mac per 4 or 5 people, a table set of 4/5/6 had a spare unoccupied desk with a Macintosh for Word / Excel all set up on apple talk and all connected to printers - Very high tech for say 1990 At home my first apple products was in @ 1997-1998 the kids were in school and primary school mad the first colour Imacs, so i caved in and bough a older MacII ( dont laugh Ebay or trading post $25 AU ) about 3 months later i bought a 5year old All in one LC 520 ( Ebay @ 40 AU ) i think it had a external zip drive as well. Both machines were in excellent condition, the MACIi came with original paperwork and books and disks , the owner paid almost $4,000 AU for the set up he was a engineer or architect, his family sold it off. The LC520 was a ex lease computer bought by a family, kept for a few years then sold to buy another replacement. I had both macs for about 3 to 4 years, they ended up in the spare room then the "shoe cupboard" - i was nagged to take them to the tip and dispose them even though they were 100% fine and both monitors were crystal sharp , this was the new era of Y2k and 1 x Pentium 4 Win XP machine and a 56k dial up modem should be plenty for 5 people Also same time, my personal cupboard was raided and 2 x C64 and 2 x Amiga 512 and all the floppies were given to charity lady - i know it is a good cause, but i was very Pi@#%$@#% that my wife done it, even worse when i found out they were sold at $10 each , i would have rather given them $50 Happy Wife Happy Life apparently i am told Oh, Erin at about 5:10 looks like a cindy brady clone Regards George

When that guy started dancing, and rapping, I just about lost it all. 😀😅🤣

If you're not over 60, you were in school before Oregon Trail was released. I was playing it at school before 1980... the first edition was 1971 for a mainframe, went public in 1975 on an educational time-share mainframe, and was 1978 release by MECC for the Apple II line.

The LC III was my first computer. Fond memories.

Honestly out of all the models, the LCIII is my favorite. Mainly cause it is the first classic Mac I ever owned.

Fantastic video. I love watching these!

The LC was my first Mac ever. I have lots of fun memories of when I had it. It was slow as hell, even for its time. It's a very rare case of a computer that was already too slow at the time of its launch.

I’ve got a couple LC’s under my bed from a vintage Macintosh buying spree years ago. They all need to be recapped. I have an LCIII+ that was recapped and loaded with 36 megs RAM, 160MB HD, and ethernet card. Sadly it was fried during a power outage, along with the matching monitor. I’ve been on the lookout for a Quadra 605. Back in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades (93-95) I was the computer teachers helper and helped unbox and set up 2 labs worth of brand new LCII/IIIs and LC 520s. Appletalked them all together, with a file server and shared printer. I had Finder access while all the other kids had to use At Ease 😄 Needless to say these pizza box Macs are close to my heart, being the first computers I really learned inside and out.

Very well done and well narrated docu! Bravo!

That is a very sharp looking machine. The form factor is excellent imho.

These videos are really interesting. Keep it up !

in 1993, Macintosh LC with the monitor and printer was around $1000 at Montgomery Ward. I even remember the mailed advertisement and my dad wanting to get me it as a graduation present.

Your videos are so underrated man. You have a unique brand of humor and these videos are so entertaining.

Let's crowdfund a full-length horror film featuring DP

Still using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard here ^.^ I love the glossy look with the computer-centric vibes (as opposed to everything being about the damn phone) I've got iTunes 8 and Adobe CS5 running on it and aside from browser issues here and there I have no complaints using it as my daily driver!

The Macintosh LC Is one of my favorite vintage apple products. I wish i had a collection of vintage apple computers...

This was in my kindergarten class 3 years later in 95. It made me a mac fan for my life.

I'm still a complete laggard, I'm watching this with an early 2006 iMac running, you guessed it Mr. Craig Federighi, Snow Leopard! ;-)

i have one from a trade a few months ago did come system 7.0.1 and upgrade from 4mb to 10mb. the previous owner did recap the board. but did have issues with psu leaking caps and could only power up if i applied heat from hair dryer to the caps.and today i did wash the psu to remove most of leaked and now powers up well but i did buy new caps (3x10v 1000mf, 3x270mf 35v and 1x47mf 25v but no 56mf)

I remember buying a processor upgrade for my PC. It claimed something about a higher MHz internal processing and same MHz external processing. I can only assume bus speed was the reason for the latter rating. It's been so long, I was like 11 or 12 years old. I was also programming in HyperCard at that age.

8:04 The LC video could work at 640×480 too, if you wanted to connect it to a suitable monitor. It just dropped back to a lower colour pixel depth.

That brought up memories... Had one of these and compared to my Amiga 1200 with 32megs, the 68040@50MHz and 600MB HDD it was just shit... And that pile of junk was anything but cheap compared to my 1200 including all the addons.

I have a Macintosh LC III and a Performa 405, the LC III works fine, i already replaced capacitors and cleaned the logic board, has 36 mb ram, SCSI2SD (i installed that in there since there was no HDD in it), and System 7.5.5 installed on it. the Performa 405 unlike the LC III is unfortunately beyond repair after the PRAM battery has leaked all over the board. and it's one of those red Maxell batteries that was in it. I just use it for a parts machine. I eventually got a Mac LC II to replace the Performa 405 and also recapped and cleaned the logic board, the simms from the performa board surprisingly worked fine, it's 4 mb (2x 2mb 30 pin simms) (shows as 8 mb cause of the onboard 4 mb ram).

The LCII was my first computer!

Very stylish m68k colour Mac!

To me, Macintosh is 2 things: 1) Avid Media Composer. 2) Digidesign ProTools. That's it. For the rest, there's Atari ST.

Well that was a uh... Shocking ending to say the least. (No pun intended).

“He’s says I saved his life, which I’m not even sure I did and my reward is dinner and dancing at Taco Bell? “

Spindler was a disaster!!! That presentation was awful and cringy. The LC was really a rip off indeed. $2,499 for a handicapped Mac II in 1990 (that's $4,897 in today's money!!!)

Everyone ran towards the few color computers in the computer lab when it was opened. Everyone else got the black-and-white computers. This was in the early 1990s in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.

I remember when our school got these then kept getting a bunch of LCIII and LC475!

My school had a dual floppy LC and a single drive LC. One was black and white I think. They were always broken lol.

I had an LC ii back in 92 or 93.. my first computer.. also bought a modem and a CDROM.. CD Rom cost my dad over 1000 bux lol

My first Mac right there.

That ending was golden.

4:55 Those kids... Let's say they were 10 years old when that was recorded. That would mean they are in their 40's now, probably with their own family and some of them MIGHT even be grandparents (unlikely but possible, I guess...).

Around 1991 the middle school I wound up in had a bunch of Mac Classics or something very close. And I never heard of Oregon Trail. They all ran Wagon Train 1848 which makes me wonder if one was a bootleg or spinoff or rebranding of the other, and oh look the Macintosh Garden page has my answer: "Actually "Wagon Train 1848" was the first version of Oregon Trail of Apple's Macintosh computers. It was released at the same time as the Mac version of the Oregon Trail, but it was only available to schools. I was one of the Mac Developers on Wagon Train 1848/Oregon Trail. They shipped in 1990/1991. They were identical except for the fact that Wagon Train 1848 was designed to be networked with multiple computers and perfect for a school setting." So that's why it looked exactly the same as Oregon Trail in your video (except we never saw color). Years later, friends (who'd gone to different schools, of course) would talk about Oregon Trail so I just imagined it was probably a lot like Wagon Train which nobody knew about. Right. Okay. It's funny how I never felt like just searching for it.

Oh man that ending is like my worst nightmare! 😲

The venerable "pizza box" form factor of the LC series, great!

"Apple hopes to shake its image of being a manufacturer of high-priced computers with the introduction of three new Macintosh systems" Oh, how times have changed...

Hey! Your videos are great - I laughed more watching this video than Tom Segura's new Netflix comedy special! Keep it up! Chris (Chi-Chi's Scandinavia regional manager)

I'm waiting for a Mac version of the pistorm to bring my LC III back to life.

so much nostalgia from this Mac

The folks at work seem incredibly good-looking at 0:31 - it made me laugh when I saw the tallest guy getting looks from the others - but I suspect this photo might be from the 90s too :)

I remember playing the Oregon trail in 1980 something on an Apple II and a green monochrome screen.

As was said back then, "LC means 'Lack Chip'" referring to the missing math co-processor.

I NEVER made floppy copies back in the day. *Bald-faced lie. Came for the Mac history lesson, watched twice for the humor. Looking forward to you next video.

18:20 25MHz ’030 processor-a much more worthwhile upgrade. But I decided to replace my LC with one of the new “Centris” models which came out around the same time.

I had a LCII and I loved it.

18:24 you mentioned the LC 475, which I recently learned (and you probably already know) has three other names for same product. I'm interested in finding one (regardless if it's Performa 475/Performa 476/LC 475/Quadra 605). I want it because it can accept a 33MHz 68040 upgrade and it's the most powerful Mac that can use the Apple IIe card.

This video is so entertaining!

When I was a kid, we did not have Oregon Trail, but we had LogoWriter (on apple 2), and then in sixth grade, HyperCard on Mac Pluses. A very funny video btw. :-)

dude keep uploading vids, your content is awesome!

IT WAS REALLY NEAT!

Manchine has a very nice case and monitor design.

The history for this computer is interesting!
