'87 is the year my dad brought home a Mac SE. I wish I still had it. Great little system. We had a dot matrix printer with the paper with the perforated side feed parts. Fun times.
In 1987, you needed an Adlib sound card for Christmas. If only they knew about the sound capabilities that Japanese computers had at the time. Sound was a quantum leap for dos gaming back the way then.
@@McVaio Now compare those to the Sharp X68000 that came out in 1987. Also compare them to the NEC PC-9801's Yamaha YM2203(OPN) from 1985 and YM2608B(OPNA) from 1987. No Commodore, Atari, or MS-DOS PC had anything close to it until the 1990s outside of using a Roland MT-32 or other professional-grade MIDI synth.
I really like that AI doll and that AI casino game,they are amezing, a 300 mhzchip at that time,a 3,5 inch disk with 10 GB of space, that's mind blowing.
johneygd all of our tech is initially invented years before it ever gets to market. These companies know what we'll be using 5 to 10 years from now which blows my mind.
OS/2 was significantly better that Win 3.1 & it looked & "felt" better (the window borders & screen fonts were awesome). The drawback? Win 3.1 could work well with 2 megabytes of ram and fly on 4 megabytes. OS/2 needed 10 mega bytes just to stop continual swap-file access with every mouse click, and even more ram to run an application with comfort, and in 1987 10 megabytes of ram could cost $1,000.00.
1987 was well before Windows 3.1 but yeah OS/2 hardware requirements were too high. Also, Microsoft didn't steal the GUI from Apple but also got the idea from Xerox. That's also why Apple lost their lawsuit against Microsoft. They didn't invent most of what they claimed ownership of.
7:59 - "I have it on my portable (PC) that I carry with me all the time" Man, imagine lugging around that mid-1980s 30 pound monster laptop *all the time*...
I love the various scanners that are used for creating printable images. The toys are interesting to see and hear. There were some different kinds of gift software utilities such as search the Bible for specific verses.
As if anyone had time to write those down, or could even read them, or even cared for that matter. That's like calling random numbers from a phone book.
