    All that's missing inside the museum are the mid-90's Apple lawn decors like Clarus the Dogcow and more.

    That Gateway keyboard at 3:21...I have that exact same one! Is that an SGI Octavia at 4:24? if so, it's the same model that saved Toy Story 2 from total deletion. Galyn Susman and Oren Jacobs tell a great version of THAT story.

I spotted my first laptop (the HP ZE something-or-other) and my second laptop the (Dell Inspiron 6400) in someones pile, and see the ended up on the Free table at some point! I'd have gladly bought those, I miss them so much! 😁 What's that adorable lil' thing at 1:06?

    Nice iicx box score. I have a broken one on the way. What was that se/30 with the flip down door? And was that an original apple I ?

    • @Mac84
      @Mac84  Před 10 měsíci

      Yes, an original Apple 1.
      The SE/30 with the flip down door was a Tempest (military case), I believe a black painted version was in the Watchman movie.
