      Yes, I've heard it a million times, I was in CS in the 80's and saw a lot of early GUI features that eventually made their way into mainstream OSes as well. Many of us are well aware of Xerox Parc's groundbreaking work. However, but to claim that there's nothing special about this moment, when the general public was brought into the world of computers, when they ceased being scary boxes with a black screen and flashing cursor, ignores what really happened to the world *at that moment*, and the army of people who contributed to it.

They're exactly doing the same today, even for video games! They go on and on and on about what you will acquire, making sure you think it's over-expensive only to announce a price, yet expensive, but you feel that it's okay.

Quite some things on the first Macs ran totally in the wrong direction for the consumer (it was a closed system, for example).

      @@valley_robot Cheaper than IBM's own PCs, yes, but in the mid to late 80s a large number of much cheaper IBM-compatible clones came to market, which made Apple's products look expensive by comparison. Around this time Microsoft was also producing the early versions of Windows. By the time Windows 3 came out in 1990 a similarly easy-to-use GUI experience was available for much lower cost on IBM compatibles, with a much wider range of available software.
      The Mac user interface was still second to none, and Macs found their niche in certain tasks, in particular Desktop Publishing using Quark Xpress, which was basically the industry standard though the 1990s. That alone is likely what kept Apple afloat in it's dismal period of lacklustre products in the early 1990s. (Until Steve came back in 1997 - everyone knows the story from there.)

      Mac had a better design and a lower price.
      It all started with Lisa. It was too expensive. That was a big problem.
      The history: Jobs had a mission to develop two new computers: Lisa and Mac. Jobs believed most in Lisa. It all started before the Xerox PARC visit. Lisa and Mac was planned to have a command line interface like Apple II and MS-DOS. But after the Xerox PARC visit Jobs changed everything! Both Lisa and Mac must have that GUI and mouse and everything!
      The main difference between Mac and Lisa was that Mac could not run Lisa apps and vice versa. Apple rebranded a later Lisa into Mac XL with some Mac compatibility. Then they ended Lisa.
      But it all started with Lisa. Easy to forget Lisa.
      And why that black & white display? Why not color? Because black & white gave a higher resolution at that time. Even the first NeXT computers had black & white displays. Later on those color displays with good resolution popped up. This is why Mac became the leader in DTP, because of WYSIWYG. You couldn't have that on PC in 1984. So Aldus PageMaker came to Mac. Adobe bought Aldus some years later, ended PageMaker after a while and released InDesign. PageMaker was amazing! So much better than Word, WriteNow and all those apps if you wanted to create a magazine/newspaper.
      Crazy that the flrst Mac OS could fit into that 64 kB ROM! I've never ever used that first Mac 128k... wonder how many or few units of Mac 128k that still exist today and still working...

    it is mind blowing to think of the genius that small mac team was to pull off the magic they did with such increadibly constrained requirements they had to work with (ram, storage, cpu). Interesting to think of the alternate time line in a world where Steve never leaves and the Mac team continues to innovate. Apple had at least an 8 year head start in 1984 on Microsoft in terms of having a fully realized GUI.

    This is a great snapshot in time. I used the Mac for three years at work. From 1989-1992. However, most consumers couldn’t afford a $2,500 Mac. So,i it was originally used in schools and colleges. The release of Windows for IBM type pc’s killed Apple from being a leading hardware company. Of course, the iPhone is what really made Apple into the company it is today.

    • @spavatch
      @spavatch 2 года назад +6

      Most consumers couldn't afford the Mac at $2500, a mainstream price point he claims, so they continued to push Apple II simultaneously for $1400. No wonder Commodore sold more computers for home use than Apple & IBM combined, snatching over one third of the market in the process, if by 1984 they charged just $215 for it. So Mr Jobs acted like an elitist he was by saying there were just two milestones in the industry. Commodore did much more for the home computer market than those two.
