Everyone knows the 1984 Macintosh computer was a game changer for the tech industry. But why was this particular computer so iconic? I learn how Steve Jobs and his team took on computer giants IBM, changing personal computing forever. Living legend Bill Nye the Science Guy joins me to play Asteroids on an original Macintosh. And fellow YouTube creator and Apple expert iJustine explains why the 1984 Macintosh was able to beat its competitors.

    This show is an elementary look at computers, barely valuable as educational. Perfect for today’s social media, misinformation generation.

    Amiga the best 😛
    WHY MACINTOSH EMULATION ON AMIGA IS FASTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

    To be clear: assuming we get the CPU/Co-processor performance denominator (e.g. 030/50 or 040/25 – which was stock on the Amiga 4000) on both sides, I believe the Amiga is able to emulate the Macintosh more effectively and more efficient than the original itself.

    Absolutely amazing video. Very well done. I was one of those "kids" that started working on those early "personal" computers. My coding machine back then was an Atari 1200XL, then a TRS-80 in high school, then the Commodore Amiga. It was such an amazing time for technology which laid the groundwork for what we all take for granted today.

    To eject the disk you can shut the computer off and then back on while holding down the mouse button.

    "Does more, cost less" something that no longer applies to Apple products, now it's "does less, costs more"

    It all started at the XEROX research center (aka Xerox PARC – Palo Alto Research Center). They invented stuff like the mouse and the graphic user interface but didn't know what to do with it, and that's where both kids, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates came in and made use of it. Thank you, Marques, for another wonderful video. You sure brought back memories.
