@@mrdan2898 He stepped down from management, which allows him to be in more videos. They've mentioned before that the videos that include Linus have much stronger views & retention than ones that don't, so it's clearly in the company's interest to put him in as many things as possible.
The reactions to Another World just speaks to how timeless that art style is. The flat shaded rotoscoped animations just look like a beautiful stylistic choice today.
I think they did really well. I was impressed that once you point out that closing the window didn't quit the app, at least a couple picked up on the visual clues they had been seeing. Drop someone in a new sell and they are always going to fumble around a bit, no matter how experienced they are with "computers".
Props to the UI designer that added that feedback of the skeleton window dropping in to the application switcher. I wonder if that came from Apple, and who the designer was that came up with it.
I honestly dont know why sara isn't a host here lol she has such a catchy personality. Its literally impossible to not feel happy while shes on the screen because you just catch her happiness
she did some video as host. Tbh I find her cringe af and her style really repel me. But I get that she might please others, however, I won't advicate for that.
I believe she's very busy most of the time. They talked about how difficult doing the secret shopper videos were because finding the time for her to film her sections was challenging.
That would be great, though it would probably be more practical to collaborate with someone in the Vancouver area. Bringing a bunch of bulky ancient hardware from the east coast to show them off to LTT wouldn't be so simple.
I love Clint, but I think Action Retro would be more fun - he likes doing sanity breaking Apple upgrades. Recently it was the RGB Apple ][c but he's also upgraded toaster macs and the anniversary mac.
Linus solving the first problem by referring to Apple Guide vindicates all the time I invested with that team in 1994 helping them integrate with System 7.5.
Thats Fantastic! When this system was out I worked at Tekserve in NYC and remember these well. During that time had a Quadra 800 then a PowerMac 9600 with 10,000 rpm LVD SCSI HDD!
Very nice indeed. Not quite sure how she set that up for one browser to proxy and another to bypass, unless those browsers have their own setting like Firefox does. I'd love to make my wifi go through it, the only people that use it are my nephews.
If they would have included Myst, Oregon Trail, and AfterDark, it would have been the ultimate throw back to 1996. Would love to have seen them throw in an Apple Network Server 700/150 for giggles
@@madmax2069 when I was in school, we had Apple II & IIe's. I know I am really showing my age there but we had Oregon Trail in green monochrome for learning. 🤣🤣🤣
@@madmax2069 I understand. The timeframe I am referring too is probably 1980 to 1983. I had to switch schools for 4th and 5th grade. Back then Apple was giving away computers for market share
I still want to see some young folk use an 80's cassette based computer (something like spectrum) and have them definitely load a computer game (definitely needing editing for that lol)
@@BarbazuX Rich kid alert... Most of us couldn't afford floppies. We had to press shift & run/stop on the C64 and watch psychedelic colors for 20 minutes while the game loads from cassette.
Apple tricking every school to buy Apple computers was such a genius marketing move, that you would never see these days as companies are terrible at making long term investments in favor of short term cash grabs that are doomed to destroy the company.
Another World (Out of this World in NA) is great! It went for a very cinematic feel, but in 2d (with some very minimal 3d). It was quite unique at the time. Flashback is similar in its approach.
Weird how anytime Sarah is on screen Jonathan shows up. Starting to get some major creepy vibes from that one lmao, she seems very uncomfortable anytime they're together.
We had those at school until 98 or 99. And honestly I think that part of my understanding of the logic of how computer stuff works is due to following up the tech ladder from that point to now
After seeing them fire up Duke Nukem 3D, apparently my childhood memory has an absolutely incredible upscaler. I can’t believe that’s what it actually looked like.
@@fungo6631if you edited the ini, you could get it to any resolution that didn't run out of the expected RAM. Also, if you cranked it up to something like 1280x1024 you could play a really pleasant looking slideshow.
Classic Mac design from the 90s brings back fond memories. Family had both the LC 520 and Performa 6300. Both last for years before we finally got the Blueberry iMac and giant white eMac. We then upgraded to the swivel monitor mount iMac.
Those iMac Color machines came with an interactive game that taught you EVERYTHING you needed to know on how to use the iMac. As a kid I became more familiar using a mac in one afternoon than windows that I as accustomed to for years. I don't know why the new apple experience doesn't have anything like that anymore.
Remember, people aren't stupid who can't handle these mac computers well. If you didn't grow up with these PCs and aren't familiar with them, they can be quite tricky to operate.
The Bad news voice was in OS X for a while, I remember loving it as a kid, when you selected it in system preferences it said ‘The light you see at the end of the tunnel, is the headlamp of a fast approaching train’
So sad I didn’t get to hear the Kid Pix undo button sound… that “Oh No!” Is forever seared into my mind. Also TIM is SOOooooOOoO good! You all should do a video on HyperCard games on old Mac hardware. I believe it was meant for creating interactive presentations but it ended up that people uses it for creating games. My brother would make point and click games on it for me to play and it was fantastic.
MYST came out of making games with HyperCard, which is crazy to think of, but also it IS just a presentation that you click through if you really think about it 😜
The 475 was fast compared to the original LC I began my computing life with. You absolutely have to get people in front of Mac Basics that shipped with System 7.0 supplied Macs. It was an animated tutorial that taught you how to click a mouse and do other basic things with a GUI. It was absolute genius, adorable and what made me as a ten year old fall in love with computers. Everything I’d experienced before then felt like a big calculator.
Text to speech is the reason I’m so used to Mac’s of this vintage. My best friend at the time was blind and the support for screen readers much more advanced on Mac compared to Windows.
Emily finally returns! So glad to see that she's starting to feel comfortable making some on-camera (or slightly-off-camera, as the case may be) appearances again. Sending her all my support. Long Live the Retro Queen~
"-Are you just here to like destroy the shoot or something? - ALWAYS!" I have that creeping suspicion Horst may actually understand we're on youtube and some "channel superfun" levels of casualness are appreciated by the viewerbase xD Glad to see it getting through to the final video. In case anyone at LTT is screening the comments for that very reason - Yes, it's very much a good thing.
Thanks for bringing back some ancient memories. You forgot to mention that in those days we used very slow dialup modems to get on the Internet. Navigating websites was extremely slow.
9:33 Sarah and Horst are playing a game, I use to play it and I have memories of it. Every time I have asked my dad the name he has no clue and anytime I look it up I find nothing. If anyone knows the name I would love to know it. EDIT: Out of this world/Another world, I looked at Linus footage and just typed the name of the game that I did not recognize, that is it.
@@CODMReaperi absolutely love out of this world everyone hated the sequel heart of the alien but i loved it people mostly hated it because SPOILER lester dies trying to save the alien who helped him but i thought it wasa great twist it shows that not everything is sweet and doesnt always end well yes the lester died but his sacrifice led to the freedom of the alien people lester was never going to make it home anyway at least he went out like a chad
@@jblank74 No, her name is Emily. Stop trying to tell someone you know their name better than themselves. Unless you're willing to point at which gene in the human genome determines a person's name? Her name is Emily. You just can't stand people who are different to you. I think I'll trust the entire medical community over some no-name on RU-vid who thinks that they know Emily's name better than herself.
I remember 7.5.3, Claris Works, Kid Pix and Netscape 1.0. Those were the early days for sure! Back when the OS was 2-3 floppy diskettes and AppleTalk was "fast" networking for a classroom. Yup, I feel old now.
This was our first family "computer". I remember messing with all the settings and my parents never knowing how to fix everything I was monkeying around with 😅.
@@dafydd4820 when I was in eighth grade I got a whole bunch of older Macintosh computers at a school auction. 68k and initial power PC. I ebayed all the cards and 10 base T networking hardware. I had seven of them hooked up in the spare bedroom.
I love most things about this video, but just want to give the extra shout out to Sarah and Horst's banter. They're such a wonderfully chaotic duo that are such perfect foils for each other!
That "Bad News" voice is fun. I remember playing with that stuff back in the 90s when I liked Apple. If you go into the control panel for it and listen to the demos of the various voices, that bad news voice says "The light you see at the end of the tunnel... is the headlamp of a fast approaching train." lol. There was another one, I think it was called whisper but I might be mistaken, that would say "Pssst, hey you, yeah, you, who do you think I'm talking to, the mouse?"
We normally watch these videos on our TV, so I can give a thumbs up but rarely get to comment on them. I just wanted to say how fun this video was and how much my wife and I enjoyed it. And it's always great to see more of the LTT team in these.
I like the idea of having an "expert" helping one of the subjects so you can see a contrast of someone who knows what they're doing vs everyone else. But they can't actually use it themselves, they can only help.
Great to see Emily popping up again, if I had 1 criticism is that graphs still disappeared a bit too quickly (although this was just a graph of internet take-up and not very important)
My grandmother's actual apple II and laser printer is in a computer museum in Juneau, Alaska, lol. It still works like new. She only ever typed and printed on it.
Your grandmother's?? Now I feel old. I still have the AppleII+ I got for Christmas as a teenager in 1979. It still runs games off the 5 1/4 floppy drive.
@BSGSV I mean in fairness my grandmother and grandpa were quite tech savvy, my grandpa was a software developer well into his mid 70s through the mid 2000s. Grandma just kept the apple 2 for a long time alongside the modern computers because it's antiquated laser printer was so insanely reliable but wouldn't easily interface with other computers, so she kept the apple 2 just for word processing and writing reports as a social worker.
I remember using this in school. I have gotten older. I still remember using Windows 3.1. During my entire post secondary education we used Macs. I learned graphic design, video editing on a Mac. We used to injest footage using FireWire. Simpler times. Social Media ment setting together after class watching movies, eating pizza and drinking beer.
I had a new Performa 630 CDTV in mid 1995. 68LC040 33MHz, 8MB RAM, 350MB HDD, 2x CDROM & 15 inch multiscan monitor. God, it was slow (especially trialling Mac OS 8.1 on it, then back to System 7.5.3~), but it had a hardware TV tuner which was fantastic. I swapped the TV tuner card into my new Performa 6500 in 1997 (upgraded to Mac OS 8, then 8.1, originally System 7.5.5). PPC 603ev 250MHz, 64MB RAM, 3GB HDD, 12x CDROM & 15 inch multiscan AV monitor. That was fast enough at the time, but sadly my last Macintosh. I always wanted an iMac G3 though! I moved over to the dark side after that, building my first PC using the PII 350MHz, never returning to Apple. 😢 The modern iMacs do tempt me slightly, but I like to be able to fix & upgrade my own PC.
3:25 that hold down the button thing with the menus still exists in some linux desktop enviroments like the one i prefer, MATE. You can either do it the normal way or if you hold down the mouse button you can hold and move the button you want and let go to activate the button. Works amazingly well on a good mouse and old-style seperate button trackpads.
I actually can't recall if it was a thing on CDE but before that you really didn't even have a full desktop environment with something like Motif. @@tyrgoossens
These are thought of as Apple's dark years, but in terms of usability, the systems were lightyears ahead of Win 3.1 and early Windows 95 machines back then
One of my favorite pranks was to make an “alias” (shortcut) of the Shutdown application and place it in the “Startup Items” folder (inside the System folder). The Mac will start up and then immediately shut down. Good times! 😂 Pro Tip: to disable the prank, power on the system while holding down the Shift key on the keyboard, and delete the “Shutdown” alias in the “Startup Items” folder.
This was a fun one. Obviously Emily's Knowledge is always great, and seeing Linus pretend he belongs with the young folk is entertaining, but the real treat was Sarah and Horst. As somebody who doesn't watch MA, that was an unexpected treat.
@@irbricksceo I thought you were referring to Andrew Young, the plump sysadmin guy there, as Emily Young, because many people here make this same silly mistake for some reason
My family got a Performa 550 new in late '93. I used to know a way to "unfreeze" it by accessing the programmers inturrupt box and inputting some old hex string, but sadly I've forgotten what the string was. Oddly I can still remember the Win 98 product key though from having to reinstall that so many times on the PC I had lol
This video is the last time that we will see Anthony. God speed Anthony and hopefully we see the new and improved you in the future! I will follow you all the way!
10:50 I can't actually believe that Linus doesn't recognise this girl. She was the default placeholder image for so many websites whose domains had expired back in the day. So popular, in fact, that she's now even on Know Your Meme ("Parked Domain Girl").
The Incredible Machine 3.... Now that brings back memories, I spent a lot of time in school playing that game. It was only on a few of the computers, so you had to be quick to make sure you got one of them. Otherwise all you had was Solitaire and Minesweeper.
@@rare6499 I had the Blue and White G3. It shipped with a 400MHz G3, 128MB RAM, and a 12 GB hard drive. By the time I retired it, it had a 1GHz G4, 1 GB RAM, Triple monitors, a Video capture card, a USB 2.0 card, and 6 hard drives, totaling around 2 TB. I miss those expandable Macs... Before that, I had a Performa 550 (LC 550 with consumer branding). That thing was nerfed so bad by the 68030 CPU, compared to the 575's 68040 CPU.
"How do I shoot?" - that would be whatever MACs version of the CTRL key is. A was jump, Z to crouch. Arrow keys to move forward, back and turn only - no strafing for you!
Ah... my brother and I got our first computer when we were small kids, and it was the Macintosh Quadra 650 running MacOS 7.6. This brought up all those nostalgic memories! We used to play WarCraft I and II, Diablo, Fallout 1, Pathways into Darkness, and a tonne more. It was a really capable machine back in the early 90s!
