Windows may have changed a lot over time, but old-school Mac OS was a COMPLETELY different beast to modern-day macOS. Can our youthful subjects figure out how to do anything with a system older than they are?

So nice of the writers to include Linus in the group so he can feel young again through the title
Young... again?
Lol , dude is very young
@@nostalgically_nope9983He is 70
@@nostalgically_nope9983 Over 35 is neither old nor young really. Calling 37 "very young" though is downright cope
Linus wants to be in every video! But that's ok, even though he stepped down and day to day operations, he's now the official face of every video.
@@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 internet archive proxy is brilliant! I want to see an episode on just that
I wonder how to build that up. I use the Internet Archive website all the time but I really have no idea how to build a proxy around it.
Something funky with the dns resolver maybe?
What’s that mean? Is that how they got the websites to look like a 90’s webpage, by going through Internet Archive?
Very clever! Please do a full video on how to do this. I've to block websites for students as part of my job and would much rather send our whole school back in time to 1996 rather than block the internet. This would be far more educational. I have remote control of proxy setting for all school iPads. I just need the secret formula.
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 picked up a copy of this for Sega Genesis at a yard sale the other day (with the NA title "Out of This World"). So happy to find it!
Was buzzing to see it. The opening sequence in that game still gets me excited. Played it on amiga
"Out Of This World", just to be accurate. But absolutely agree.
@@Shutterbun4 The original title is Another World. They used Out of This World only in the North American release.
The French touch!
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.
her 2 huge pieces of personality make her even more likeable
@@vindicatelol horrible comment
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.
th random guy that entered though.. i dont like
Collab with LGR and have him bring truly ancient tech. That will be amazing
Love LGR another person they have on a video is 8BitGuy he has a lot of old computers also
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.
I somehow never thought about this, but now I really hope I get to see this crossover happen.
@@drano9862 me too altho i can swear it happen or linus has mentioned him. Gotta fact check this
back when apple had to prove themselves to be a big player in tech space
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.
And now apple have proven themselves as the biggest player in tech space
more like back when Apple was losing market share every day and trying to win people over
Apple has yet to prove themselves as anything but a tinker toy maker for hipsters
@@teo2157 You spelled "worst", wrong. "...apple have proven themselves as the WORST player in tech space".
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!
How! Nice
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
Yeah, After Dark is what made me want a Mac back in the day after I seen one of the schools LC475s running it.
@@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. 🤣🤣🤣
@@imtekcs well my previous school did have a bunch of Apple II 's some with green monitors and some with color monitors.
@@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
People forgetting about Math Blaster
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.
It's exactly the same on a modern mac, so I don't know where they got these people from.
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)
It's gonna have to come with a book, because no one figured out anything on those without a guide of some sort
LOAD * ,8 ,1
@@BarbazuX That's the command for loading from floppy. For loading from tape you hold shift and press run/stop.
@@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.
The TI was the king of that
Seeing them discover "Out Of This World" was gratifying. That was a truly groundbreaking game, and was ported to absolutely EVERYTHING back then.
Proxying everything through the Internet Archive was such a cool touch! Really nice idea, Emily!
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.
@@HerecomestheCalaverathe voice which asked the challenges is Emily‘s voice. In some frames she is visible
@@HerecomestheCalavera You may know her as "Anthony"
who is Emily?
@@JeloOW Emily used to be Anthony, not sure why he transitioned but there we go
You know if macs are involved its a certified classic LTT
yessir (yessir chain?)
Yessir
Yessir

No I don’t think I will
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.
Yeah it was a very good looking game at the time but I had trouble to finish it.
Now there's even a 20th anniversary edition of it.
@@andlinux such a game! that people have not played it is sad. the rotoscoping used for the cut scenes was revolutionary
You forgot to mention that it was HARD, very unforgiving.
I had to google to discover that Flashback and Another World were both from the same developer, Delphine Software
I still can't finish this bloody game. It is so hard.
Do you realize you can still save it as a doc file on an ancient Mac, and open it on the latest word? Pretty amazing stuff!
if they decide to continue this series i want to see how their team would react to an amiga
ditto!
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.
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
YOOOO EMILY IS BACK!!
Sarah just always sounds so happy. I'm sensing a theatre background. An awesome host when she is involved.
racist
@@CarAudioInc eh what the actual fuck?
@@christianjedro6206don’t bother with people like this, responding gives them the attention they want
HUH?@@CarAudioInc
Sarah and Horst was a wonderfully chaotic combination 😂
I swear they either are super tight friends or dating either way WOOHOO
they need those 2 on more videos!
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.
I think they are officially shipped haha
@@daylen577 You should participate in the olympics with that talent of jumping to conclusion
I miss Brian The Electrician, he was great
Anyone else want the "Brian the Electrician" Intro song to play anytime they mention him?
lol 5:01 Jonathan: "oh no, I'm cancelled!" 😂
The Lineage II stickers brought me back 20 years and the fact that this MMO still exists today is wild to me.
just the comment I was looking for
If you want to play like in the old times L2Temida.
golden times & good memories. I played on Teon server for one of the top clans and won several olympics as cardinal.
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.
Nah, you probably played it on PC where it looked way better
If you played on PC with better hardware it probably ran at a higher resolution and without the boarders
Duke3D could run at up to 800x600, so it probably looked better on your PC.
You probably played it on a machine with more than a 25 MHz CPU
@@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.
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 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.
I love these types of videos Linus!
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.
The web proxy was fricken genius.
Sarah is SO FUN to watch, she's always so stoked and happy
She’s the best. Her eyes captivate me. Such a beautiful colour
That's the Chinese Skunk they got. CTT.
yeah, she got nice racks.
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.
Yeah, but it was kinda obsolete by 96. Then again, 500 series Performa and LC systems had similar specs, which is kinda sad, considering the timeline
@@InfernosReapernot if you’d never used a computer before!
@@charlessale409 Not sure how that makes something not obsolete
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.
Hey, if you were really rocking it back in the 90's you might've had access to a T1 line.
@@Monsuco nothing like that was available where I lived. At the time I wouldn’t have been able to afford any extra cost.
Writer: one of these things is not like the other.
* Jonathan appears
Writer: *sigh* two of these things are not like the others.
This was a wonderful trip back in time, really brought me back. Super cool how you set up a proxy to do that, I'm curious how it was done as I'd love to set that up myself to mess with.
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.
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 😜
great vid! this was a delight to watch. takes me back to the mid 90s discovering macs myself in elementary. LOVE kid Pix! the noise of the eraser and OH NO! good times
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!
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.
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’
I think that might still be a voice? The Blind Life covered novelty Apple TTS voices sometime last year so I don't quite remember.
That's some bad news if I've ever heard it!!! 😨
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.
Fun video, how were you guys screen recording on the old mac out of interest? Great trick hooking it up to the internet archive ❤
I remember using the colored mac computer when I was in elementary school as well. And is that Kid Pix at 7:50?! I used to love messing around with that program, it's brought me so many good memories of being a kid again. 😄 It was nice seeing a piece of history being brought into the modern world. I'm looking forward to seeing more things that we grew up with when we were younger.
Kid pix was one of the few Mac applications that actually DID get a windows release.. now if I can get win95 to run properly in VMware. Lmfao
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 😅.
about the same. my first was a 630CD
We had a LC475 too! Weirdly enough my parents never connected it to the internet. Didn’t seem important in the early 90s
@@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.
Don't know if this was made before or after The Pause but this is the kind of content showing off the team I love.
The opening script was mint. So glad you’re back.
Never had the opportunity to use one back in the day.
But when they started Netscape ... boy, do I miss the old web pages.
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
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?"
Emily setting proxies through Internet archive was genius.
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.
A bunch of older systems did it that way. The Amiga is one, I'm sure some of the pre-gnome and kde window managers did it as well.
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
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.
Absolutely awesome video. More of these please🎉
This brings back memories. We had Mac’s from this era (probably a little older) at school when I was maybe 9 years old. They were already a bit outdated at that point. But you could play Oregon trail and Skifree
Love the Lineage II stickers on the monitor
Now do 90s Linux. Make zoomers use Slackware 1.0 from 1993!
The bears aren't nightmare bears, they were so cute! The idea of a Dad switching to that background for his kids is adorable.
I had all of these things as a kid and very excited to see them. @linustechtips please do a series on after dark screensaver- especially the remix module
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.
My elementary and high schools (Richmond, BC) were almost exclusively filled with Macs. I took typing class on LC520s, learned to code Pascal and HTML on an LC575.
I love when Horst randomly comes in and interrupts shoots
yay emily is back
Neat to see the game I made, The Incredible Machine, in the video. Can't believe it was that many years ago.
The proxy was genius. That one game where you died by getting scratched looked surprisingly very modern.
Another World. I believe it was the first home game to use rotoscoped animations. IIRC it was made by just one guy.
@@me2olive yes, it was titled "out of this world" which is the NA spelling. I'm amazed at how well it aged. I even found it was put on steam in 2013.
@@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
The scratching thing is part of the opening - it's inevitable - Lester wakes up in alien jail.
This was the first computer I ever used. I have forever loved macs to this day. Took me a decade to get one of my own at 19.
You guys brought back some memories 👍🏻 First Mac I used in elementary was the MacSE playing Carmen Sam Diego & Oregon Trail, then picked up a few more macs over the years, LC,LCII,LCIII, Powerbook Duo, Powerbook 1400 G3iMac original, MacBook Intel Duo 2006 & 2017 iMac. Even though I primarily use Mac’s I also use windows based PC’s for gaming only.
"-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.
Was wondering how they did the old internet stuff, since I know a youtuber had made a proxy device specifically to reroute websites to old versions.
Nice to see Another World / Out of this world make an appearance in the games there. Very influential French game, back when France used to release technically ambitious and trippy games that really moved gaming forward - Flashback, Alone in the dark, Commander Blood, Dune, Litte big Adventure to name but a few others.
Flashback was mindblowing for then 12 years old me, spent countless hours playing it on my first computer, a hand-me-down LC 575 from dad.
This takes me back. I had a Mac with this same operating system (a pizza box Performa) so all these apps and graphics remind me of my childhood
Cant wait for linux's turn
I would love to see a video like this, but with 90s Linux distros.
Why? That would be boring af
This was absolutely awesome! Took me back big time! I remember our computer class had the Apple IIE and the teachers used this model. Wild ❤🔥❤️
8:46 "This is the new MAC Address logo?" 😂
Another World and Broken Sword were the two games I remember from that time. I had a PowerPC Mac running OS9 at the time and it was a huge upgrade compared to OS7
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").
This is really nice to see, very relatable! Great work! 😅
It's interesting that many or all of those text to speech sounds are still available in macOS today.
The LC475 was the first Mac I ever purchased for myself. Still have it too! I also added a 16MB RAM stick, which was quite expensive back in the day. However, The LC475 DID run MacOS 8. Which was a big jump over 7.5.5.
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
You think that was easier than 95? I remember getting a Windows 95 computer after only using Macs before in school, and I have NEVER gone back LOL.
Its cool that emily is working on her voice :)
My god, I grew up in a 100% Mac household. This is oozing with nostalgia for me. First time I saw ClarisWorks was on a Apple Color Classic which I'm pretty sure is older than that machine, but still had a Motorola 68k in it. KidPix, totally used that. At Ease stopped me from deleting important stuff when I was too young and stupid to know better. Oh man. You should do another episode just talking about old software that was actually pretty cool for the time, particularly for things that don't really have an analogous solution these days. Like, does anything like At Ease even exist for MacOS these days?

Welcome back Emily!!!
An upgradable Mac. A novelty from long ago.
For a long time it was a major selling point. Remember the fold down side panel for easy access and upgrades on a G3/G4.
@@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.
See, what do we even need modern computers for
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.
We had some of those LC’s at university. Great little compact machines for writing essays on and early emailing. Not powerhouses at the time, but reliable and nice to use for their purpose.
I don't know if Emily was the main writer for this video, but I love how nearly every video they're in is simultaneously chaos and very well planned
I had a Mac that ran 7.5 way back when. Upgraded it to 8.5, maybe 9 before we got rid of it. Played the hell out of Warcraft 2 and X-Wing. Loved the OS. Even got it play multiplayer Warcraft 2 with my friend with his PC over serial. I loved how much easier it was to use than early Windows and especially DOS (which was on our earlier computers). The Mac lasted a lot longer to do more with it at better pace than my friend's PC.
What was your friends PC? I Know many people who had a similarly specced PC to a 97 Mac, and were able to upgrade it and even run Windows 2000 on it. Apple really were slowing down up until Jobs came onboard.
@@damienlobb85 unfortunately, I can't remember. It was some Dell enormous laptop. I think it ran Windows 98 at the time.
I had a Mac LCIII which was the predecessor of the 475 in this video. First computer I even owned (well, my parents bought it for me). I remember being so excited it had an 80 MB hard drive and thinking there was no way I'd ever fill it up.
Lots of fun to see people go through my ancient memories this way, but another thing struck me as from the past - a more relaxed feeling from Linus... I think not having to run the company is already showing in him, he's feeling like the Linus from 10 years ago.
Look at that, an upgradeable Mac!
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.
It made me happy when he was happy to find it!
@@BrawndoQC I ended up downloading it and playing it after watching the video 😆
Why was that red-haired guy allowed to interfere in a "challenge" it was so annoying. I kept asking "why is he there?"
I had one of those and I loved it! It got me to tinker as a kid and I'm so glad it did!
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!
If I had to guess who was a future couple...
We need a all amd 7800 pc build: 7800x3d and 7800xt with DRR5 7800

Not sure why but this takes me back, even though I didn't use most of those applications. Back then, people used computers for word processing and Excel spreadsheets. With that said, I got through my undergrad without ever owning a computer - sort of. My mom gave me her Macintosh Performa (low-end machine even then). Despite that, the university had computer labs with networked Macintosh computers that were 100 times better than anyone but the very rich or well-off could afford. All the labs were divided into two halves. All computers on one half were connected to only one printer. The other half to a second printer. The whole network in the lab was controlled by a mini-computer or other specialized desktop computer. The person on that computer could control both printers - cancel print jobs, print again, etc., restart the network, look up student ID info, etc. It was actually pretty sophisticated. The whole system must've been connected to a central university server, because eventually we had to scan our student ID cards at the front desk before using the computers. The campus had multiple Mac and PC labs. The last couple years the university invested heavily in more advanced Macintosh's that could use BOTH Mac OS AND PC OS. That way you could work on a research paper on a PC and open it on a Mac, and vice versa. Those computers tended to be buggy, but they still worked most of the time.
It wasn't till I met my now wife, who used PC labs, that I switched to PC. I've been using PC since at least 1998 or 1999, and I never went back to Mac. To this day I wonder why artists tend to use Macs when PCs are just as powerful or better for half the price. And they all use the same exact software. At least in the early 2000's people had an excuse - some software was only written for Macs. But nowadays? Everything is written for both systems.
Anyway, it took me a couple years to really get used PCs. Mac was just so much easier to navigate.
