Found footage: History of Apple in 2 minutes
Filed under: Hardware, Multimedia, Found Footage, Apple History
Here’s a great video assembled by applemctom that presents the history of Apple (more or less) in two minutes. There are some huge leaps in time and some obvious errors (Apple Mac II? MacIntosh?), but that’s OK. It isn’t easy to cram decades of history into 120 seconds.
There’s much nostalgia for old-timers like me, as the Pippin and Newton make an appearance. Though I still use my Newt, I’ve never had the pleasure of a face-to-face meeting with a Pippin. The dark days described in the video (the early 90’s after Steve left) is exactly when I started using Macs in earnest. It’s amazing that I stayed a customer after bloodying my hands on a 7100’s beastly innards.
The video ends with the introduction of the iPhone, so don’t expect to see anything beyond that. Still, it’s a bit of fun. Check it out.
