graphics power of its 68020 line of computers. First up, a group of
talented artists produced "Pencil Test," an animated short created
entirely on a Macintosh II. Animations: Tempest, Her Majesty's Secret

one of the BEST. Not as boring as it sounds!

talks of his first visit with Burrell, Andy and Steve. Ridley Scott of
Blade Runner and BBC fame is interviewed on how it was filmed, how
they hired 150 skinheads, how they arrived at using an Athlete for the
Sledgehammer toss, at... "Karl Marx". Other great info, they bought
three Airplanes, then dismantled them for props, 747 engines are on
the back walls, also notice the Mac Introduction was scheduled for
January 19th, not January 24th. Filmed at Sheperton Studios, London.
Full Screen Versions of 1984. Exceedingly Interesting.

* The late Douglas Adams gives us a tour of the recently announced
PowerBook Duo. He begins with his vision of a computing device he
concieved for Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy, then walks us through
how the new Duo has become this device. Well done by a famous Mac
User.

Signal. Circa about 1988 when the GUI was still new inside large
corporations. Early eMail, funny! Filmed with typical Apple flare.

* Historic agreement between Apple, IBM and Motorola (AIM) All the
characters are there, Sculley, Spindler, Kalida & Taligent. Part
PowerPC microprocessor plan. Part a plan to build a next generation
microcomputer operating system. This new OS was to run on any hardware
platform. It was also to be completely object-oriented from the ground
up. The PowerPC portion lives on to this day.

* 1997 MacWorld Boston Keynote. A pivotal moment in Apple's history.
Steve has returned, the existing Board of Directors has been let go,
Steve makes peace with Microsoft, Bill Gates is tricked into appearing
as George Orwell on a huge screen... to Boos and Hisses by the

the Color Apple Logo is still alive. Fun to watch again and again.

gives insight to his early life, how the book by Tom Swift "SOS At
Midnight" influenced him, his interest in amateur radio, the Homebrew
Club, how Apple came about, and interesting comment that, "Apple is
home to the greatest revolution of our time". Everyone should see
this, one of best portions on all the DVDs.

* Mission Impossible commercial with Tom Cruise highlighting the fast
new PowerBook, 4 rarely seen Apple Education commercials, and the
"classic" of Windows95 being used in a presentation, when Windows
messes up, plenty of ideas are given to the befuddled user, then "Get
a Mac" is shouted from the audience. Great stuff.

effects of having a new Apple Macintosh in the family. It's an
infomercial for sure, but the production values make it like a small
film. Entertaining!

Apple's complete Business Strategy with AppleTalk, LaserWriter and
unique graphics based software.
