Round 2 of Apple's Lost '1984' Series
webertk421 writes "The second set of lost 1984 videos has been released. This set again needs more mirrors (I still can't download the torrent files). According to the descriptions, the clips include Steve Jobs reciting some Dylan, showing the well known 1984 commercial, and 'Manuals,' another commercial that almost aired instead."

Mac SE's use 720K drives? At least I'm pretty sure they originally did.
The Mac 512Ke, Mac Plus, Mac SE, and Mac II originally shipped with 800 KB 3.5" floppy drives. These are similar to 720 KB 3.5" drives, but used an 800 KB format.
There was a later version of the Mac SE that did ship out of the factory with a 1.44 MB floppy drive.

The difference is Apple actually makes some real innovations in their products and they take some pride in their product. Steve Jobs isn't just a guy in a suit reading off a list of PowerPoint bullet items.
Did you know that when the Macintosh came out that the second generation Xerox Star still didn't support overlapping windows and still lacked any sort of uniform style. That machine cost something like 6x as much as a Macintosh and even without its external monitor its tower case was still twice as large as a Macintosh. If you read the folklore.org website it says the Macintosh had fewer chips on its motherboard than the IBM PC had on its black and white graphics card alone.
Apple only offers up to 7.5.3 for free (though there is a 7.5.5 updater available too.) Above that, only updaters are available.
6.0.8 is highly reccomended for your the SE, compact, rock solid and hyper fast. Head over to System 6 Heaven for your System 6 needs. Available in over two dozen languages!
For fear of slashdotting someone's webpage (over 100MB of QuickTimes there,) and to curb some mindless clicking, I present the unlinked URL. www.uriah.com/apple-qt/index.html
Someone, mirror it quick.

In 1684 there were well over 235 people in America. Various accepted estimates of the pre-contact (15'th century and earlier) Native population of the continental U.S. and Canada range from 1.8 to over 12 million. Over the next four centuries, their numbers were reduced to about 237,000 as Natives were almost wiped out. In 1684, however, the natives were far from gone and there were already quite substantial european colonial settlements. People forget that european people lived in America for a longer period of time as colonials then as citizens of the USA.

Just so folks know- that isn't a NeXT cube. It's kind of the shape of one, and hell, maybe it even ran NeXTSTEP, but that's not a NeXT cube. Here is a good photo of a NeXT cube and the 17" megapixel monitor (black white!).

6.x or 7.0/7.1 should be the top end you'd want to put on a 68000 mac. If you need old-version stuff, go 6.0.8. if you need system 7 stuff, go 7.1 if you can find it. (7.0 was released for free, 7.1 contained some non-free software, and thus is not on their site for download. (512, plus, se, portable, powerbook 100, etc) 7.5.x should only be used on 68020+ macs. It'll work on 68000 macs, but it'll be wicked slow. (SE/30, the entire II line, etc.) And typically, if you want 7.5.x you should also grab the 7.5.5 updater for 7.5.3. 7.5.5 is more stable and feature filled than 7.5.3 (just my experience, anyway...)
The coming out moment for the Macintosh can be seen in a really great documetary by Robert Cringley called "Triumph of the Nerds" (1995).
I just Netflixed it, ten years after seeing it for the first time, and the movie has only gained in its relevance.
In many ways Jobs' work with the Macintosh led to his being fired from Apple. This really was a landmark product, but it just wasn't priced well to compete with cheap IBM clones.
