Watch Steve Jobs Demo the Mac, In 1984

Posted by timothy on from the he-oughtta-know dept.

VentureBeat is one of the many outlets featuring recently surfaced video of Steve Jobs doing an early demo of the Macintosh, 30 years ago. I remember first seeing one of these Macs in 1984 at a tiny computer store in bustling downtown Westminster, Maryland, and mostly hogging it while other customers (or, I should say, actual customers) tapped their feet impatiently.

    Damn it this is really annoying. The Mac was good for a few tasks and crapped itself if you looked at it wrong. The Mac is now reliable thanks to BSD, but it is still only good for a few tasks. The only reason it survived was publishers love it.
