The funny Australian ipod guy breached containment again.
Can't agree with him hating on the Performa computers though. I'm super nostalgic and fond of them 'cause we had them in school. Loved playing Brickles Deluxe, Triazzle, Space Junkie, and Oregon Trail on those things. Claris Works was fun too! Also the Accelerated Reader program started off my love for reading.
Wish I bought one when they were abundant and practically free. They've gotten rare enough now people want like $300+ for them. Not to mention the shipping costs since they're heavy!
@@CharlesP2009 They're heavy and not to mention the plastics are turning extremely brittle with age

I can’t believe you went into KidPix and didn’t click the Undo button.
That man shouting “Oops!” and “Oh no!” live rent free in the nostalgia section of my brain.
"I made a boo boo, yeeaahhhh"
I loved KidPix in elementary school! Granted, I did use a later version, but the bones are the same 💙
I got so happy seeing kid pix. The hours I spent making the craziest most random things! The sounds are so nostalgic!
I'm happy I'm not the only one who remembers that!!!!

Whatting _is_ pretty hard.
Kahootz was my favourite thing to mess around with in computer class in primary school. That is a true unlocked memory omg
I wish translucent colored plastic was still common styling for electronics now, its more nostalgic than cigarette smoke.
Why choosing when you can have both? Yellow stained coloured plastic! 🚬
It was also a cheap way to make low end products fun, and helped a ton with visual identity. You weren't mistaking your translucent blue plastic portable stereo for your black leather wallet, unlike today where you can't identify what's a wallet, a smartphone, a car key fob, a charging bank, or a wireless speaker without picking it up and flipping it over because it's all black plastic.
Problem was these translucent plastics all became brittle and cracked after a couple of years: then in the 00s manufacturers became obsessed with that weird rubberised plastic that effectively melted at room temperature into a sticky mess!
@@Maxibon2007 The fragility issue mostly seemed to be an Apple (and inconsistently a Sony) problem. I've still got some stuff from the era like a lamp, pencil case, and Gamecube controller that hasn't cracked and has survived more hard hits than "ruggedized" devices of today.
The flat monolithic design of things today has unfortunately extended to user interfaces as well. It's weird to think that Windows 98 could be more interesting to look at than 10/11. Even kitchen appliances are mostly either some type of brushed metal and/or black. Design language in general now is just depressing.

KidPix took me back, and I didn't even grow up with that version! Just hearing the "Ding dong! Wow!" Immediately reminded me of being in school and drawing with this app. I haven't thought of KidPix in literal decades lol.
16:06 absolutely perfect sounds for YTPs
"It has a handle" has to be my favorite line by Steve Jobs when the iBook clamshell was released. Love handles myself that one of my PCs got modded with a handle. (There wasn't an ccessory option so I got a drawer handle, screws, a piece of flatbar, and my dad's help with the drill and made it work.)
Edit: I did not expect 800 likes on a comment about handles LOL but thanks.
I miss the times where carrying around a laptop on a handle seemed like a good idea, but then the laptop bag took off and the handle idea seemed pointless.
Only pc I have with a handle is my toughbook cf19, love that thing to death
Yes that my apple computer is not for store
You have love handles? Lay off the sausage rolls mate
You could just bought a handle accessory
Thank you for finally proving to me that that weird bug game wasn't actually just a fever dream and I did play it on my library computer once.
I definitely had flashbacks to A Bug's Life as a kid, and I'm pretty sure I had the game for PS1... It wasn't much better
@@Lizlodudei think i played a bugs life game on either the Gameboy colour or the Gameboy advance
8:56 why is that "E" so harmonious
That momentary comparison between the iBook and the 16 inch MacBook Pro is like going from kindergarten to grad school.
WE'RE GOIN TO BENDIGO TO GET ME IMAC!
Holy crap the kid pics sound effects, that unlocked a part of my brain I thought was lost to the concussions, alcohol, and time
GET'N'A FACKIN CAAAAAH
Me too. I still have the original Kid Pix studio from my dad's PowerMac. Messed with it nonstop then
same man brought back some good memories and that bug game I also had at my school computer and I forgot about it
MOWTY! WE'RE GOIN TO BENDIGO!
KidPix is such an absolute throwback to the deepest recesses of my memories. I was in 2nd grade when I first messed with KidPix....
Crazy how yeah every single computer lab during computer lab class was just nonstop tnt explosions. Only the real ones remember.
@@jackthesixth9895 Half my time spent in Kid Pix was just making random scribbles in order to blow them up with the dynamite.
Talk about UX.
Your pure childlike wonder at this computer brings me life. Thank you.

5:07 I cannot get over how, even then, apple was obsesed with square watches. Even the loading icon was square watch
Ironic that Windows now uses rounded style lol
Or is the Apple Watch square because it’s an homage to the loading icon?
Round pc - square clock
Think different
2:13 “this thing has ethernet” *focuses camera on dial up port*
This has been one of your very best videos, I love seeing a deep dive into older tech!
I didn't even remember what Kid Pix was but that part of the video unlocked a childhood memory from elementary school circa 2005. Our classroom had a couple Macs in one corner that could be used at allowed times. During one time that we were supposed to be reading and the teacher was slightly distracted, this one boy got up and went to one of the computers, opened Kid Pix, and started doodling with the paintbrush tool. The teacher very quickly realized what he was doing and pulled him away from it, but not before he made what looked like four alien-like blobules rising on stalks up from the bottom of the screen. I thought it looked hilarious and kept giggling about it the rest of the day
Thumbs up if you stuck out the full 20 seconds in real time and did NOT fast forward
Reminds me of being in the computer lab at school. I'd take the time to chat with my buddies or even just look around at the other student's displays to see who was quicker on the draw or had a faster machine. And when we first powered on the computers you'd get to hear the startup tone 25 different times in stereo around the room. 🤣
LOL, and just triggered a memory of trying to print book reports and stuff. Those old LaserWriters were slow and your computer couldn't do anything else while it was printing. So it'd take the whole class like 30 minutes to print their papers. 🤣
It didn't feel much longer than I remember it feeling, that's the messed up part.
@@The_Boctor that's what she said!
I... Didn't even realise I could have just skipped it
The longest 20s in any TH-cam video ever.

20 seconds plus a 30 second ad break? Perfect.
I literally can’t believe you made this video, as I have just bought an ibook G4 (the generation after this one)! I wanted something slow and clunky that had trouble connecting to the internet so I could write with no interruptions (and also play The Sims 1). I loved seeing those old applications and hearing those old sounds again ❤
As soon as I saw that 90's blue clam shell, I immediately got hit with a wave of nostalgia of playing Bugdom at school. Totally wasn't expecting for Bugdom to actually show up in the video as well. I legit hadn't seen any gameplay of it since the 90s. Thanks for resurrecting that forgotten memory.
you can find longplays of it on youtube!
Yes, Bugdom!! I had an iMac at home that has this on it, lost many hours to it. Reinstalled it 10-odd years ago and posted some embarrassing gameplay on my channel.
these macs are easily the golden age, i have the same exact memories with the kid pix at school too XD. watching all the effects n stamps n sounds was super nostalgic ty very much XD
What a blast to the past. I want these kinds of designs to come back. They were so fun to look at! The catholic school I went to was over 100 years old and, for as long as I was there, exclusively only used Macs. So one day we went to the basement cafeteria (that had been defunct for a few years) and I saw what I can only describe as the Mac graveyard. I think every iteration of an Apple computer up until that point was there laid out to collect dust. The memory of seeing that lives in my head rent free.
6:58 The iMac can produce mind-boggling effects.
Oh my god the nostalgia of the kidpix sounds. I don’t even remember messing around with a Mac but I recognized every sound
They had a Windows version too, I used it all the time as a kid!
@@ToastyMozartbut what was it called tho?! I remember the pen that gave the different 3d shapes and the explosion eraser was the same as apple’s
@@jacobgamble3302 It was called KidPix on Windows too. I remember using a newer version on Win XP back in elementary school.
@@jacobgamble3302 Yeah I specifically remember the shape trail one, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't called Kidpix
@@jacobgamble3302 My dad's Windows 95 machine had Kid Pix on it. Same program as far as I can remember.
Thanks for this treat, dank. recently got a flower power g3, i love vintage apple
This was the most fun video to ever grace my recommended, I wasn't expecting this!
I remember using Kid Pix on school iMacs! That was peak entertainment!
Holy shit, core memory unlocked
I did not expect to see Bugdom on this channel. That game holds a very special place in my simulated heart.
I had completely forgotten about it until now. That game was my jam, until the one with the time traveling, laser shooting velociraptor came out. Edit: Nanosaur 2
This and Cro-mag Rally
You’re my people 😁 All of these games are still fun
Everyone in my elementary school loved that game
@@Rapt0rhamyesss that one
It's crazy how torture that 20 seconds feels now, but watching cable TV as a young lad the 5 minutes of commercials every half hour felt like nothing
Seeing Bugdom today brought me back 18 years. I remember as if it were yesterday. Great video❤
A platypus shouting "G'day!" is Wade's greatest Aussie nemesis.
Now what if the platypus wore a fedora?
I have one of the blue and white G3 towers. It was the first old computer I ever got ($20 from a surplus store). What I find funny is that if you want to, you could put a modern motherboard in it because it uses the microATX standard, which is the form factor of modern motherboards.
This makes me want to make a hackintosh G3
I remember when Dell tried to push the BTX standard down everyone's throats but no one else adopted it.
@@Ramonathonah dont bother, they are really collectible nowadays
It's not the most common motherboard form factor, but you can still find them
@@colevandyken2871mATX boards are still incredibly common.
Dude. Seeing and hearing kidpix genuinely brought me to tears. It opened a core memory of a time I wish I could go back to, where things were just simple. Probably should have appreciated those times more before I had to worry about taxes and healthcare costs, but this was a beautiful trip down memory lane. I had no idea I’d ever see it again and hear those goofy noises again, but it felt like being back in the computer lab again, every Wednesday after lunch.
Thank you Wade ❤️
You, dankpods, have unlocked my childhood with that bugdom game, I distinctly remember kid me and my mum being stuck on the level with giant feet crashing down on top of our character
Good times
I remember them being odd back in 1999....but I'm totally digging them now

@@KiraSlithAre you referring to the ThinkPad 701 series with the foldout keyboard?

Oh man, this was a trip to the past! We never had the book version, but I definitely remember playing on the regular iMacs... And Kid Pix unlocked memories I didn't even know I had! Thank you for this XD
thats awesome :D
i just recently saved a ibook g4 from being thrown away and those old macs are just so much fun to do random stuff and appreciate how far we have come
Going back to when Halo was going to be a Mac exclusive game, intoduced by Stevie J himself at Macworld '99. I had a grey G4 tower, it was great (and more customizable and accesible than a new Apple silicon system 😂)

Verbally giving a photosensitivity warning is super cool to do. I'm an epileptic viewer who mostly listens but that made me feel so much less wary about the visuals, since it's really hit or miss with electronics. Thank you for being considerate!
Loved the Interenet Exploder segment, truly a great invention.
1:18 That’s the best startup sound Apple has ever had
Maaaaaan all of this was my absolute childhood.
All of Pangeasoft’s games were such mac gems. Holy shit the amount of time I spent on Bugdom and Nanosaur…
I died a bit hearing that Wade was not familiar with their work 😭
NANOSAUR REPRESENT!!
I loved playing Bugdom, Kid Pix, Appleworks Paint and Oregon Trail on my school’s iMacs back in the day! These were such great computers. Thanks for making this video, it was fun and I really liked it!
The amount of nostalgia i got to experience alongside mr.dank was a treat. BUGDOM WAS PEAK AS A KID! I remember playing the heck out of that in the elementary computer lab alongside this caveman karting game with the other kids, good times
CoolPix and Kahootz was absolute peak childhood in the early 90's
we had kahootz 2 as a 2000's kid, no idea what it actually was for, i was 5-9
I love all those old colorful Macs. Mac OS X used to be super skeuomorphic and colorful too… never lived through it, but it was so cool!
Mac OS X was yummy looking up to about 10.4. I def miss the colorful and fun era of computing. We'll get back there eventually I suppose. '90s fashion is coming back!
My first Mac experience was on Mac OS X Tiger. So nostalgic and so classic.
@@CharlesP2009 "We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them." - Steve Jobs describing the look of OS X when it was being revealed.
It was great. I remember theming Mac OS 8 on my old Mac to look like OS X with Kaleidoscope. It was overall primitive how it did it compared to the real thing, but I remember gawking at the scrollbars and checkboxes in awe. Then getting a new Mac early 2000s, OS X was just so wildly different and 'futuristic'. Using it now it's okay, but I don't understand why they've made the window buttons so tiny and all the other tinkering they've done. There's not much Aqua left, unfortunately.
Leopard babyyyy
9:27 OMG, that sound drove me absolutely NUTS in the school computer lab. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the KidPix nostalgia trip! I haven't seen or heard that in more than 20 years, haha. The only thing to complete the feeling would be if Maths Circus was on there too.
8:10 Oh hey, it’s Tux Paint!
Oh hey, it's Mario Paint!
Thank you! I was trying to remember the Name!
On old laptops, a trick I use to force them to load TH-cam is to look up a specific video. But this is regarding laptops from around 2005-2008.
Seeing Kahootz, KidPix, Bugdom and all these old programs takes me right back to primary school. So nostalgic
We will never have anything made with this level of effort put into machines ever again.
Get in the car Wade, we gotta go to Bendigo to get me green cube!
i never saw any old apple product until recently, and i saw this ibook on another channel as well. i love the design and handle (so you can carry your brick easy) and the fact that it was indeed revolutionary to his time. personally speaking i will not carry it around but it's a cool piece of history that must be preserved. i always loved laptops more than desktop lol.
recently was at my sister's, and being the family's tech support i was setting up the tv and stuff, and out of the blue find the remote had pkcells in it. i laughed so hard and said "OH MY PKCELL !11!!!"
took me 30 mins to explain to my sister that no, im not insane, it is a reference, and m8 theres this aussie youtuber etc.
I grew up in an Apple family; we had a IIe, which had one of the best home ports of Pacman for the time, and I used to fiddle around with a Garfield greeting card maker as a toddler. Fast forward to 1999, and we get a G3 iMac in pink. I would have preferred the blue color, but my sister would eventually get one, which my parents and I would eventually get. I spent so much time on Cartoon Network's website, and Neopets, and then, I was introduced to web forums. Those are what I like to call my Internet formative years. I wouldn't trade that time in for anything!
Even your videos are internet relics.
I think we must have had the same childhood because this video was pure, 100 percent, concentrated nostalgia. Legitimately - thank you! This was a gift!
This was such a crazy trip down memory lane! I loved how long the video was, but I could have probably sat here for 5 hours warching you mess around on an old iBook
Man, seeing KidPix really brings me back.
My dad still has a mug he got made with a picture I made in it as a little kid.
Cheers, dank, good video, made me smile.
The upside down logo was pretty smart, but not really
Up until the release of the white iBook, it was common to have any logo on the lid of a laptop face the user when the laptop was closed. Having a laptop was a premium experience and opening it was like opening a Whitman's sampler or a box of fine cigars. This changed with the popularity of the iBook in education and photos of lecture halls full of upside-down glowing Apple logos. For the next generation of laptops, Apple inverted the logo so that it was correctly oriented when looking at the back of an open iBook or PowerBook. The rest of the industry soon followed, with the exception of IBM with the ThinkPad.
@@johnruschmeyer5769 I love ThinkPads. My dad still gets issued an up to date ThinkPad every few years for his job. The internals are always better but the externals are always the same.
@@johnruschmeyer5769It also makes sense given that the iBook has a handle. When carrying it by the handle, it faces up.
It's always bothered me that laptops put the logo so it's right side up when it's open. The one person who uses the machine constantly never gets to look at it the right way.
@@450AHX I question the actual enjoyment levels that a logo's positioning on a laptop can provide. If it somehow does annoy you, surely it would be more annoying to know that the logo is upside down the entire time you're using it
Bro kidpix was my childhood 😭 omg that totally unlocked memories. All those sounds haha
This was a lovely fun video! I liked the longer length!
*_Microworlds looks like this old programming language that was described to me as "Imagine the turtle has a pen taped to his tail, and you have to tell it 'tailup' or 'taildown'.' taildown meant it would draw, and you had to tell it how far to go forward, or if it should make turs, and if so, how big of turns?_*
Ah, that is/was called "Logo".
Logo was the older version, Apple // + early Mac days. (Plus all the other 6502 micros).
This is the spiritual successor.
ROS uses something similar as a demo program.
Yea my cousin had one of these, all this early thousands clear plastic tech is so nostalgic
I love this ibook. One of my favourite pieces of tech, besides the powermac g4
ah Bugdom, the day I learned that existed, the only acceptable golden time activity in primary school became jumping on a mac to play it.
I LOVED Bugdom. I used to play it all the time on my grandads iMac G3. We used to have the top of the line iMac G3 in the same blue colour at that laptop. Absolutely loved this era of Apple, by far the most iconic time for them for sure. Think I might have to get some of these stinky machines for the nostalgia. Great vid my guy ❤️
“Can’t wait to see what cool colors they’ll have in the future”
Apple still makes the iMac in fun colors at least, and the occasional iPhone
To be fair, the iPod came in cool colors, and so did certain iPhones and iPads. And also the iMac. So I guess colors are limited to the "i" products.
I always wanted the blue IBook Clamshell (and I'm still planning on buying it one day 🥺) Thank you for the video, I'm so excited!! ^^
Holy crap, you can just hear the joy in his voice! It’s so contagious! I’m not even that interested in this tech bc I didn’t grow up with it, but just from his pure excitement, it got me just as excited as him! 😆
Holy cow, Kid Pix literally brought up so many memories that I totally forgot where in my head, probably been about 20 years since I even thought about it. Mortality, sweet Jesus.
Oh man Kid Pix all the memories in computer lab in kindergarten started flooding back
Hey Wade, I saw Matt's vid (Techmoan) on the old Mission Impossible tv show and saw where in a bunch of episodes the little self-destructing tape recorder was a.....(wait for it) ..........a CRAIG!! 😆🤣😂👍
Always loved these designs. Had a lady friend who wrote novellas on one of the old CRT iMacs, and I adored the design of that machine. It was beautiful, lovely keyboard, clean UI, just a lovely machine.
I was in art school during the 2000s. My first experience with digital art was running Adobe Illustrator 5 through a sour apple green iMac armed with nothing but a mouse that didn't even right-click.
When I right click, my pinky still twitches and wants to command-click instead...
Omg Kid Pix Was filed so far in the back of my brain that I Would have never remembered it until you mentioned it. Man, so many hours spent.
I remember visiting my grandma's house in the middle of nowhere as a child. The only things to do where explore the creepy basement or play bugdom on her imac. Thanks for the memories

i was born in 1999 and im american but we share so many core memories this is insane. my school had those clear macs (the ones when steve returned) and those were the first school computers i used. I LOVED THEM. then they took them away the next year :( but i learned how to type with mavis beacon teaches typing… when i saw you start that program up, and saw the screens, i literally gasped and put both hands up over my mouth. wow. thank you for the nostalgia.
I remember when you could browse and watch videos on TH-cam circa 2007 via a 1997 Thinkpad (well, a used high end business model at least). Good times.
I used my Thinkpad T42 (2004) in 2019 before I built my PC, worked great for most things if you didn't care about the security risks of using XP lmao
The consistent callbacks to aussie rick's bendigo cube is something that I have missed.
