9. Showing my age here, but that was the first computer I ever used, try photoshop with out any "Command Z" to get you out of trouble, Fun?

10. Also not very known: The inside of every Mac from that era had the autographs of the developers casted in the plastic.

11. The Mac looks like it’s straight out of minecraft

12. Dude you make some of the best videos. The production value on this is amazing. I love watching all your videos.
    I always learn so much.

13. My dad taught me to reboot some old computer when I was 7 to play California gold rush. We wouldn’t have a “real” computer until 2005, and it ran windows 98.

14. I can not even put it in words how much I hate iJustine.

15. I wish the history could be that much easy and interesting in schools also

16. 7:50 a lightning mcqueen computer

17. is bill nye on some thing

18. It was so ahead of its time. I remember using it for the first time at uni and was blown away by the word processor and the easy to use user interface, It was soo sexy.

19. you guys would make a cute couple

20. "these would make cute coasters." This annoyed me for some reason.

21. Playing with the mac with bill nye was the dopest thing I’ve ever seen

22. Trre

24. The production value of this is so incredibly high I am shocked. This was a seriously good video. Well done to the whole MKBHD team

25. I remember we used to watch Bill Nye

26. Now, now. Let's not forget about Digital Research, Inc. It took almost 20 years for Apple and Microsoft to write an OS that came even close to the power of GEOS and CP/M. Not only was DR's operating systems so advanced, but they were written by one man: Gary Kildall. He basically invented pre-emptive multitasking in the 1970's which Apple and Microsoft didn't understand till the late 1990's (if that).

27. 0:44 I was already born

28. cool video, now I know why people say the Mac changed the history of personal computers although it is not the first of its kind

29. I got mine last week. Its amazing

    Its a joke

30. Marques has led a very cool life. wow.

31. 12:34 – I have a computer museum in my home office – an Apple II, IBM PC, and original Macintosh (among others) lined up on the bookshelf behind me.

    My teenage kid will occasionally come in and just start typing away on the OG Macintosh keyboard. The Apple II doesn't interest him, the IBM PC with its super-clicky Model F doesn't do it. It's the Macintosh with that arrow-less keyboard. (Although my all-time favorite keyboard is on the Apple IIc.)

32. Ya, this is such a good video. Can't believe I haven't seen it before.

33. u guys see the veiws and like dislike numbers
    if yes than li8ke the comment

34. It's a bit weird to not have a Commodore machine in the video. At least among my peers (born 1973), a lot more kids had access to a Commodore 64 than a Macintosh.

35. This is probably the best original Mac video out there. Although I thought the Bill Nye section was annoying filler and wished that section of the show was used on someone more integral to the conception of the Mac like one of the original team members who engineered the Mac.
