Great overview of a great show! So packed with goodness that I see lots of things I missed here, despite spending two days looking over everything. It was fun meeting and hanging out with y’all a bit as well!

@UsagiElectric Месяц назад

Excellent coverage of the event! It was a ton of fun hanging out Kate, Mrs. Usagi loves the little floppy disk earrings!

@OverlordJake Месяц назад

I admire the commitment to the bit, carrying Maccy around the venue. You always bring quality and work ethic to these vids.

@robbiewabisabi 29 дней назад

It’s not a bit! Maccy was super energized and very chatty at the booth. Super excited to get a selfie with him and ms. Fox!

@kingedwin Месяц назад

I'm less surprised that Maccy is real, and way more surprised that he's portable.

@JayJay-88 Месяц назад

Yay, happy to see you and Maccy again! 🥰

So many cool vintage machines! Looks like you and Maccy had a lot of fun! Also looks like you got your quota of arm exercise for quite some time carrying Maccy around.

Shenanigans! Love it!

@sandrodellisanti1139 29 дней назад

Ciao and thank you for your very nice Video, which i like to share at Telegram and at Tribel, personally i've started in 1986 with an Commodore VC20, and in late 1989 with my Amiga 500, i did my first steps into creating Desktop Wallpaper and Tracker Music.. later BeOS and Debian Linux in the later 1990's, and then used Powermacs with OS X, so right now i'm 55 and using Debian Testing, great times.. many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃

@Shaggy0f138 29 дней назад

Thanks Maccy and Ms. Fox! That was great fun.

@XodiumLabs Месяц назад

Glad to see the "This is Tails." bit made it to the final. Dunno why but that had me chucking for a good second.

@Mac84 Месяц назад

Awesome, it looks like it was a great show! Hopefully I can make it out there one of these days. Thanks for the tour!

@andycraig7734 Месяц назад

Is Maccy old enough to swear? 😜 You had me rolling with the comment on the Soviet computer.

@MacintoshLibrarian Месяц назад

hahah oops! Maccy didnt know what that meant!!

@RetroTechChris Месяц назад

Great coverage of the show, Kate! Sorry to have missed it this year, maybe next year!

@MrKsoft Месяц назад

Yay, you're finally coming to VCFMW! Looking forward to finally meeting Maccy!

@JHMBB2 Месяц назад

That old ram memory was insane, like how did anyone figure that out. Also loved the minidisc section!

@DevilsHandyman Месяц назад

I talked your ears off a few times during VCF Southwest. It was great to meet you. I saw you there last year as well but I was more restrained!

@FreihEitner Месяц назад

It's always great to see Macintosh Librarian and Maccy! I learned something new here -- never knew that MiniDisc was used for data storage.

@Dr.Quarex Месяц назад

Oh sweet, I will be at VCFMidwest and hope to get my picture taken with Maccy! Haha.

@JDW- Месяц назад

Another great VCF overview video, Kate. I also watched the VCF Panel video where yourself and other RU-vidrs were interviewed, and I heard you say you're a fellow EE. I had a feeling that was the case because you always seemed to be much more informed on technical matters than just your average vintage Mac enthusiast. I would love to see a video about what sparked your interest in electrical engineering. For me, it was my love of the Mac (and computers in general), combined with a very inspirational electronics class instructor in my senior year of high school, who was a retired EE. Funny too, because I wasn't that great in math. But that career choice was a good one. It opened the door for me to move to Japan.

@KayakTN Месяц назад

I can't believe I completely missed the video game museum. Oh well, maybe next year.

@rafaeljuarezgoo Месяц назад

Nice reminiscing about the old tech 🙏🏽

@nahkanukke Месяц назад

Thanks for the awesome video. I never had a mac as the prices was out of my range at that time. But drooled always when seeing and using one.

@ftorresgamez Месяц назад

At 8:49 min -- that's my family and I, bunching together seeing my lovely wife playing The Oregon Trail on one of the old iMacs. Fortunately, she didn't die of dysentery :-) We enjoyed our first VCF ever, loved the exhibits and loved saying "Hi!" to Macintosh Librarian and Macky. We hope we can see you next year!

@BollingHolt 29 дней назад

11:41 I wish my Model II looked like that when I turn it on LOL.

@AndrewTubbiolo Месяц назад

I have to say I've never seen a ventriloquist use a computer as a dummy before. Well a general purpose computer can indeed be a dummy terminal.

@djkraze5018 Месяц назад

Just a quick note; at about 12 minutes, a U-Matic Video Tape followed by the smaller form factor U-Matic tape was displayed in the video. It was called a "beta" tape (or Betamax). Beta is a much smaller format Helical Scan 1/2 inch tape that was marketed to the consumer market and lost the format wars to VHS and was introduced in 1975. U-Matic was the first cassette format video tape using a 3/4 inch wide Helical Scan format introduced in 1969 (both produced by SONY), and was mostly utilized in broadcasting (replacing the massive 2 inch quad VTR systems) and in schools (replacing the 1/2 inch black and white open reel decks). These tapes were easier to store than a 15 inch diameter 2 inch tape reel or 10 inch diameter (not sure of the reel size) 1 inch C-format reels of tape and were easier to mail (though there were smaller 5 & 7 inch plastic reels of 2 inch tape that were much lighter than the massive metal spools and were commonly mailed with commercials). Though Betamax did lose the consumer market, it saw success in the broadcasting market being utilized in portable video cameras (betacam) and in automation where many programs were dubbed from other formats (mostly 2 inch or film). for use in a play-out system. (did I say quick note? Sorry, I did it again)

go out of your mom's basement once in a while and get some sun. all this stopped mattering a few decades ago.

@JGreen-le8xx Месяц назад

Ms. Fox ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

@Codeaholic1 Месяц назад

Now I'm wondering how Maccy works.

@BilisNegra Месяц назад

Yeah, and what power solution it mounts to have been made portable!

@mkeathley Месяц назад

Look up the VCFSW RU-vidrs Panel. Maccy was there and shut down. We got a little insight into how he might work. :-)

@warrenio9179 Месяц назад

Maccy has a soul.

@mattmyers9351 Месяц назад

Great video Mrs. Fox and Maccy!!

@musicalneptunian Месяц назад

First computer in a school lab in 1987 was the Apple 2 E with LOGO computer graphics language.. Wow at Aussie computer PC Z80! If you ever find a computer with the Zardax desktop software system, then that was used in Australian schools in the 80s; Zardax is now in an Australian computer museum. The word processing software was Multi-scribe. I have a long history with chess computers. My first chess computer was a peg pocket chess computer from Tandy. I also played chess against Boris, an even earlier 80s computer that talked and said "I've got you" or "you're in trouble now". I still have my notebook with a full game score of my first win against a chess computer in 1988.

@mattrichardson4351 Месяц назад

Did you get to catch up with LGR ?

@Nymunariya Месяц назад

@EricGranata Месяц назад

I really need to put this event on my calendar.

@djtomoy Месяц назад

Maccy!! You’re so cheeky when you’re in public 😮!

@taggat Месяц назад

Did you get to see any Apple Lisa's? And look out hot librarian at the 13:05 mark.

@PE4Doers Месяц назад

I am so heartbroken. Among other things about you, I loved that panel you took part in 😍

@tenminutetokyo2643 Месяц назад

A whole rack of iMacs!

@GarthBeagle Месяц назад

😂 7:10 Maccy seems less than thrilled to have even more CRTs kicking about the house

@jacoblister Месяц назад

Wow, I was there the whole 3 days, and there's still a bunch of stuff in the video I didn't get around to see

@buda3d2007 Месяц назад

11:07 have not seen that version of flight sim in operation for over 40 years!

@Arcadecomponentscom Месяц назад

Will and Alex have done some great things for the Lisa community! Also, it was very nice to meet you and Maccy, and to see myself on your video! Like Kyle, I'm also one of the show runners and was on the Show Runners panel talk.

@NathanChisholm041 Месяц назад

Wtf am I looking at? 😂

@JimAllen-Persona 29 дней назад

It’s nice to see this vintage stuff, but I’m really not into it. I’ve been in IT since ‘87 and I was hoping I’d have more interest in old Mac’s than the old PC’s that I used to be stuck working on that was “state of the art” but alas I don’t. Good presentation though, thank you.

Correction - AUX on apple server... AIX is IBM's Unix...

@paul_boddie 23 дня назад

It was AIX on PowerPC, which was, of course, the continuation of an architecture developed by IBM and used in IBM's own RS/6000 products. Adopting PowerPC opened the door to Apple potentially adopting operating systems from IBM and others, which they desperately needed to do, as well as sharing technology with IBM and others buying into the PowerPC roadmap. A/UX never made it beyond the Motorola 68000 family, and was only used by Apple in a server product in the form of the Apple Workgroup Server 95, which preceded the introduction of PowerPC into Apple's own products (apparently being discontinued in 1995, aptly enough).
