Macintosh Intro Video
No particular reason to show this today. But it appeared one of the Mac email lists I belong too.
Notable:
* Remembering how truly revolutionary the bit-mapped graphics were.
* Monochrome screen
* "insanely great"
* Programming example was in Pascal. The "cool" language back then.
* It took awhile for text-to-speech to get much better than that.
* Steve said, "all the images will be generated" I'm assuming the audio is from another source.
* The audience response is a little ove-the-top. It was a crowd of mostly Apple employees, but still.
* Steve had hair and a bow-tie. I used to have hair too, but never a bow-tie.
Ah memories. ... When I was a boy we didn't have no internet. You had to walk to the computer store, uphill, both ways.
