No Cameras Allowed by Computer Clan #012 - My Early Niche: Diving Into Vintage Macs No Cameras Allowed by Computer Clan #012 - My Early Niche: Diving Into Vintage Macs Show Notes: Welcome to #MARCHintosh My First Vintage Apple Tours Episode (2012) Super News: Gates vs. Jobs Patreon.com/KrazyKen Transcription*: Hey guys, how are you all doing? If you're new here, welcome. My name is Krazy Ken, and welcome back to another episode of No Cameras Allowed, the autobiographical podcast, the journey of the Computer Clan YouTube channel, and how it has affected my life because it's been a major part of my life for the last 14 years or so. And in fact, I probably sound like a broken record by now. It is one of the longest running, still operational tech YouTube channels in the history of YouTube. So what are we talking about today? Well, it's officially March, so it's time for March and Tosh. This is actually the first annual MARCHintosh, and there's a lot of cool retro Macintosh content being posted out there. So make sure to search Twitter and YouTube with #MARCHintosh to see what other people are doing. And I will have another YouTube episode later about a rare Apple computer for #MARCHintosh But today we're just doing this podcast episode, but it'll still be a lot of fun. I received a question recently, which related to an idea of an episode I wanted to cover a while ago. So I thought this would be the perfect timing. This one comes to us from Poland, from Lasiczka. They wrote hi. I had a question for a long time. How do you start collecting vintage Macs? That is an excellent question. So I do have some tips and tricks that could help you, and you may pick up some nuggets from my story as well. And that's actually where we're going to start. We're going to start today with my story about an early niche that I got into on YouTube, collecting vintage, Apple computers, and Apple Macintosh's back in the earlier days of the YouTube channel, I didn't really have a focus. I didn't really know what I wanted to make videos about. It was a few months later that the tech stuff started forming, right? The idea kind of started coming together and some of those early video, in fact, probably, I don't know, at least half of those early videos had to do with vintage, retro, Apple hardware and stuff like that. I was really into it. So I wanted to make videos about it. That's the thing you got to make videos about stuff you'll love. Otherwise, you know, people can tell, you know, your stuff may not perform as well. If you're not putting your all into it. And the best way to put your all into it is to do a video about a subject you like, and this was one of the first niches I dove into. So here is that story of how it started when I was about two years old, probably, you know, living with my family, our family computer was a Macintosh. So later we switched to windows. That was our daily driver for like six or seven years. But then we switched back to an iMac and I do talk about that story in past episodes as well, particularly episode nine and episode two, we got this iMac in summer of 2007 and I liked it. It just worked the way my brain worked. I was able to click on things and figure it out really easily. I don't remember exactly how this started, but I ended up discovering Apple related videos on YouTube. Now this was 2007 YouTube. So there were a lot fewer videos, a lot fewer users. And you had a, you know, a 10 minute video limit. You had a hundred megabyte file limit at standard definition, quality, probably 360p resolution. So times were very different 14 years ago on YouTube, but I somehow stumbled upon Apple related videos on YouTube and they captivated me. I actually tried to load my favorites archive on YouTube. And I don't know, maybe it's just too big, but it would not scroll back to the beginning. I scrolled back as far as the website would load. And some of the oldest videos that I favorited on YouTube were old Apple commercials for their computers back in the eighties. And I just kind of fell down that rabbit hole. And I don't know how powerful the YouTube algorithm was back then, but I ended up finding more Apple related videos. So perhaps the algorithm was catching on here. You know what I'm saying? It was recommending more of that stuff to me. So I ended up finding video from super news called Gates versus jobs. You might've seen it, look it up if you'd like it's a cartoon of Steve jobs and bill Gates fighting and stuff like that in a computer war. It's hilarious. Funny enough. That's actually how I learned who Steve jobs was. I knew who bill Gates was, but I didn't know who Steve jobs quotes. So then I started going down more rabbit holes. And I talked about this in other episodes too, but Alfred DiBlasi from the Adiblasi YouTube channel and David Di Franco, who used to be called thecreativeone. They would make Apple-related videos, too, you know, upgrading computers, fixing them, stuff like that. A lot of Macs in particular. And again, that was the brand that got my attention. It was the Apple brand. So I started watching a lot of their stuff, right. And then I started finding more videos on YouTube. Again, that algorithm was probably just poking me like, Hey, Hey, you're watching this Apple related stuff. We're going to give you more. And you know, my young like teenage brain is just like, yes, I just want to consume this content. I'm not even thinking about it. Just give me more. So then this had to be the big thing that did it. I found the old Apple, no, it's where Steve jobs would be on stage announcing new products to cheering audiences. The dude was so gifted at presenting. He worked story and suspense and cool visual AIDS into a product presentation and an awesome demo. He was so good at owning the stage. I know he had help. I know it was a team effort, but he was so good on stage presenting new products. And they are so much fun to watch. If you have not watched older Apple keynotes from Steve jobs, watch them. They are easily rewatched. They're hilarious and fun. Sometimes we call them Steve notes. You know, that's what we call them. Steve notes. I started watching those and I vividly remember one of the earliest ones I saw was when he introduced the first ever iMac that G three, you know, cathode Ray tube bond. I blue colored CRT iMac thing. Oh my gosh. That thing was so pretty. And remember at the time, pretty much every was bathed. So the fact that they had this frosted transparent, bluish green, cool looking all in one computer, that was an attention grabber. And even though this was 2007, me seeing this recording from 1998, I was still super captivated by how he presented and how the older max looked. And I started getting intrigued by Apple's history, how they design their computers back then, how the software looked a few months later, I start the YouTube channel. I start doing kind of just random videos with my friends. And then I start doing it more of the tech stuff. The first technically tech video I released was computer showdown, which that's a whole different podcast episode in and of itself because that ended up being a, kind of like a mini mini cult classic in the early days of the channel. We'll get to that some other time. But then a few months after that, I, I guess I pulled enough money together and got permission from my mother to borrow her, her eBay account. I started searching for max because I wanted to start a Mac collection. So I'm borrowing and your eBay account. I wasn't old enough to have my own. I'm pretty sure that that was the rule. And I, I had 50 bucks. I had something like that, 50 bucks. So I look around and I wanted to get a computer that looked like that iMac, that Steve jobs presented. And I found one on eBay time. I thought it was the same one that Steve jobs presented it. I later found out it was actually a three-year newer model. That was a different color. But like, Hey, I didn't really know back then. It just cool. I found a 2001 imag T3, Indigo color for $50. I think the shipping was even free. And I was kind of surprised because you know, it's like a little television, it's got a CRT, those are heavy. These things are like 40 pounds and they were shipping it for free and I was elated. So I was like, okay, mom, can I buy this shirt, honey? Okay. Here's 50 bucks. Boom bought it. It arrived like a week later. And I loved that dang thing.

  • Gestalt Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Gestalt Manager 1 This chapter describes how you can use the Gestalt Manager and other system software facilities to investigate the operating environment. You need to know about the 1 operating environment if your application takes advantage of hardware (such as a Gestalt Manager floating-point unit) or software (such as Color QuickDraw) that is not available on all Macintosh computers. You can also use the Gestalt Manager to inform the Operating System that your software is present and to find out about other software registered with the Gestalt Manager. The Gestalt Manager is available in system software versions 6.0.4 and later. The MPW software development system and some other development environments supply code that allows you to use the Gestalt Manager on earlier system software versions; check the documentation provided with your development system. In system software versions earlier than 6.0.4, you can retrieve a limited description of the operating environment with the SysEnvirons function, also described in this chapter. You need to read this chapter if you take advantage of specific hardware or software features that may not be present on all versions of the Macintosh, or if you wish to inform other software that your software is present in the operating environment. This chapter describes how the Gestalt Manager works and then explains how you can ■ determine whether the Gestalt Manager is available ■ call the Gestalt function to investigate the operating environment ■ make information about your own hardware or software available to other applications ■ retrieve a limited description of the operating environment even if the Gestalt Manager is not available About the Gestalt Manager 1 The Macintosh family of computers includes models that use a number of different processors, some accompanied by a floating-point unit (FPU) or memory management unit (MMU).

  • Strategi Bisnis Apple Mac Antara Gaya Hidup Vs Teknologi
    Strategi Bisnis Apple Mac antara Gaya Hidup vs Teknologi Di berbagai majalah IT maupun HiFi seringkali dijumpai perkataan ³More Marketing Hype than Hope´, yang mengkonotasikan iklan yang terlalu berlebihan dari suatu produk namun pada kenyataannya seringkali jauh dari ekspetasi konsumer. Banyak pula orang yang menyatakan bahwa Apple terlalu banyak ³berlebihan´ menggembar- gemborkan keunggulan produknya ketimbang realitas yang sebenarnya. Pernyataan tersebut di atas bisa ya bisa juga tidak. Ya jika dikaitkan bahwa dari sana tercetus pemikiran tiada produk lain selain Apple, tidak jika dikaitkan keunggulan teknologinya. Pada kenyataannya produk-produk premium keluaran Apple memang memiliki kemampuan daya tahan kualitas barang yang cukup lumayan. Meski memang ada beberapa produk yang sempat bermasalah, namun secara keseluruhan kualitas produk Apple memang se-premium harganya. Kesalahan desain antenna yang oleh beberapa media dikatakan sebagai Antennagate, jelas terlalu berlebihan juga. Karena yang namanya cacat produksi dan salah desain bukan hanya milik Apple semata, namun hampir semua produk baik selular maupun non selular pernah mengalaminya. Karena jangankan Apple, salah satu brand selular yang terkenal dengan Six Sigma Quality saja pernah babak belur saat menghadapi problem pada salah satu produknya yang terkenal. Pada waktu itu karena salah satu produknya menjadi hit di pasar, salah satu mitra OEM nya babak belur menjaga kualitas produksi hingga menimbulkan banyak masalah. Apple sendiri dalam menjalankan bisnisnya selalu berpijak pada dua hal, yakni lifestyle (gaya hidup) dan teknologi. Betul jika dikatakan para fans Apple adalah orang yang senang dengan gaya hidup, namun juga mereka orang yang paham soal kualitas daya tahan teknologi. Anda tidak bisa hanya berjualan salah satunya. Lifestyle tanpa didukung oleh kualitas barang tentu akan ditinggalkan orang, begitu juga kualitas tanpa ada sentuhan marketing gimmick nya ya tidak laku juga.

  • From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model
    Chapter 12 From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I What the specs mean I The specs for every Mac model ever made I Secrets of the pre-PowerPC Mac models I Just how much your Mac has devalued Yes, we’ve already been told that we’re nuts to attempt the next two chapters of this book. Since 1984, Apple has created more than 140 different Mac models — including 35 different PowerBooks and 53 different Performas! Each year, Apple piles on another dozen or so new models. By the time you finish reading this page, another Performa model probably will have been born. So, writing a couple of chapters that are supposed to describe every model is an exercise in futility. But we’re going to attempt it anyway, taking the models one by one and tracking their speeds, specs, and life cycles. This chapter will cover all the Apple Macs — both desktop and portable models — from the birth of the original Macintosh 128K to the release of the PowerBook 190, the last Mac ever made that was based on Motorola’s 68000-series processor chip. When you’re finished reading this chapter, you will be one of the few people on Earth who actually knows the difference between a Performa 550, 560, 575, 577, 578, 580, and 588. 375 376 Part II: Secrets of the Machine Chapter 13 will cover every Power Mac — or, more accurately, every PowerPC-based machine (those with four-digit model numbers) — from the first ones released in 1994 to the models released just minutes before this book was printed.

  • GW4404A and GW4405A 68-Pin VRAM SIMM
    Garrett’s Workshop GW4404A / GW4405A 256 kB / 512 kB 68-pin VRAM SIMM for Macintosh User’s Guide GW4404A and GW4405A were designed by Zane Kaminski and Garrett Fellers Overview GW4404A and GW4405A are 68-pin VRAM SIMMs which provide Apple Macintosh computers with 256 kB or 512 kB of VRAM, respectively. High-Quality PCB GW4404A and GW4405A are built with an ENIG gold-plated, 4-layer PCB, and only new parts are used to build the VRAM SIMMs. All units are tested extensively before shipment, and all SIMMs conform to 80 ns timing or better, ensuring compatibility with all Macintosh models which support 68-pin VRAM SIMMs. Excellent Signal Integrity GW4404A and GW4405A feature solid power and ground planes. Particular attention was paid to signal integrity, ensuring reliable performance on the fastest machines. The address bus traces are run as asymmetric striplines shielded inside the SIMM PCB, reducing interference generated by large VRAM SIMM arrays such as on the Quadra 700. Ample separation is provided between the DQ and SDQ buses routed on the front-side of the board. Particular attention was paid to the edge-sensitive RAS, CAS, and SCLK signals. These are optimized for minimum length, with large spacing between these edge-sensitive signals and all other signals and buses. Open-Source Design GW4404A and GW4405A’s designs are fully open-source. The schematics and board layouts are all freely available for commercial and noncommercial use. To download the design files, visit the Garrett's Workshop GitHub page: https://github.com/garrettsworkshop Physical Dimensions Parameter Value Height 20.32 mm ± 0.2 mm Width 102.87 mm ± 0.2 mm Thickness < 8 mm Weight < 28 g Compatibility All possible VRAM configurations are listed below by machine.

    Gestalt & _SysEnvirons - A Never-Ending Story Page: 1 CONTENTS This Technical Note discusses the latest changes and improvements to the _Gestalt Introduction and _SysEnvirons calls. _Gestalt [Sep 01 1994] Additional Gestalt Response Values gestaltHardwareAttr Selector SysEnvirons Calling _SysEnvirons From a High-Level Language Additional _SysEnvirons Constants References Change History Downloadables Introduction Previous versions of this Note provided the latest documentation on new information the _SysEnvirons trap could return. Developer Support Center (DSC) will continue to revise this Note to provide this information; however, as the _Gestalt trap is now the preferred method for determining information about a machine environment, this Note will also provide up-to-date information on _Gestalt selectors. Back to top _Gestalt This Note now documents _Gestalt selectors and return values added since the release of Inside Macintosh Volume VI. Please note that this is supplemental information; for the complete description of _Gestalt and its use, please refer to Inside Macintosh Volume VI. The Macintosh LC II is identical to the Macintosh LC except for the presence of an MC68030 processor, so under System 7.0.1 it returns the same gestaltMachineType response as the Macintosh LC (that is, 19). However, under System 7.1 and later, the LC II responds to a gestaltMachineType selector with the value 37. Thus, there are two cases when you are on an LC II: under System 7.0.1, you will get a gestaltMachineType response of gestaltMacLC (19), but gestaltProcessorType will return gestalt68030; under future system software, gestaltMachineType will return gestaltMacLCII (37). The processor will, of course, still be a 68030.
