And that’s when he realized that having water bottles handy is a good idea.
cough cough cough
For real.
He has water there idk if he was sick or something
@@Jushwa he was sick. It was so long ago but it was covered in the UK MacUser magazine at the time.
@@RichsRandomRetroReviews oh true makes sense
Apple’s golden era. Great memories
Yeah I wish we got more time with Steve it’s a damn shame.
It's crazy watching Steve Jobs talk about a mac that is easily upgradable...
Apple would never have gone down their current route with him in charge.
I’ve watched this countless times over the years (in lower quality) and I have to say, this is STILL without question, THE BEST keynote speech given by Steve Jobs. The products were insane, listen to them go wild when the G3 is opened by the door. Then streaming videos on the iMac and be brings out a classroom of iMac’s - the sniggers turn into an eruption of applause. Then finally coloured iMacs. He was so proud of all of these products you could just tell. Apple keynotes these days are sterile and do not have such feeling to them. I miss the good old days and thank you for sharing the highest quality version I’ve seen of this so far.
You are absolutely right about today’s keynote’s! I love the FireWire demo how incredible Steve was! The products were so ahead of their time.
42:50 The easy-access was really nice. I used the PowerMac 8500 for years and it was quite a chore to get to the RAM etc. They really improved things years later.
1:03:10 Scene you mentioned where he brings out the 50 Macs served by the server.
Just that cough freak tho
1999: Gigabit Ethernet an option
2020: I still don’t have gigabit WiFi
Their Pro customers really did appreciate it as did their non-pro users. I got the graphite version that came out next and it still works!
Yeah the Power Mac G4 Graphite is one of the most reliable Macs ever
@@ferrreira reliability . what an odd design concept
I was a pure PC user and little to no Mac experience. I worked as a game dev in 2000 and we had to do a RAM upgrade and IT let us do it ourselves. I cut my hand opening my PC, since I was the only PC dev on the team and then had to do the 3 mac people. 1 G3 like this and 2 G4s and they both opened like this. Opened my eyes to how much better Mac hardware was back then.
He was coughing/politely burping constantly and back then it really hit me, because it never had happened before. It was one of the early signs of something wrong with his health. In retrospect, I believe Steve Jobs was one of the most brilliant salesmen for his own company and I am glad there are recordings of his performances.
This had NOTHING to do with his health condition. Talk about adding 2 and 2 and coming up with 5!
@@TUUK2006 It really does. Yours body is smarter than you. And it gives you a sign
Or he was fighting a cold.
So cool seeing Carmack up there, it's kinda a shame that he didn't get into how he used the NeXT computer to do DOOM and how he praised and beat them up over the years.
I really Love this video, This was such genius! I miss Steve 23 years have come and gone and I still think of how great the products were
10:10 Lulz, he meant to say "IBM". Freudian slip. 🤣
10:20 And that higher clocked G3 from IBM that they dieshrunk using copper interconnects was actually the first major project led by now famous AMD CEO Lisa Su! (She led the team at IBM that developed copper interconnects).
every once in a while for the last ten years, I listened to what he said, lots of ideas and opinions are as visionary and inspiring as they are today
The good old days!
I love that little bit of "I dreamed of St. Augustine" at the beginning. They used to start keynotes with music that seemed like it came from Steve's own playlist.
I love the cheering for the hot pluggable 6GB Hard Drive. That was a legit big deal at the time, but high speed swappable external storage feels like it grows on trees now. Lol.
42:40 That is what all companies should do on presentations, shock everyone with better things than expected, a lot better
Shit this is what every Desktop design should be like. lol
So, here I am in October 2022 wanting to buy one of this G3's...
Same here in August 2023 😂😭
Right?? I even have one next to me, and yet for a minute I felt the need to go buy one.
1:03:22 He actually did it the absolute madman
Yeah Steve was a real showman, them coughs tho 🤣
I think it rises to the top of all stunts for me. Possibly dethrones the iBook wifi moment, but both: contenders.
@@Jushwa yeah I know but points for never letting the coughs get into the speeches. Must've taken all the willpower.
@@whophd I didn't realize just how sick he was when I wrote that, not sure why i thought it was funny, I totally agree with you, it is impressive that he never let it interrupt his speech. I think the first time I missed that he had water with him on stage. I really miss his showmanship.😭
Sure the new events are very polished, edited, and NOT live and I'm sure more people watch them now more than ever, but seeing the curtain reveal the custom built rack that effortlessly slides forward even with 49 heavy iMacs cable managed and all set up to play, is genuinely impressive even today. I haven't seen any live on-stage demo that comes anywhere close to that since his passing. ☹
it was John Carmack who convinced Apple to adopt OpenGL. They were desperate to see more games on Mac and Id were pushing the envelope at the time.
I remember a lot of developers being angry when Apple killed off QuickDraw 3D. It was a bad time to be a Mac developer. In many ways OpenGL was a worse technology but it was a shortcut to getting more recognition which is what the platform needed.
Now they're doing it again by depreciating OpenGL for Metal. :D
That being said, I'm not sure how Microsoft is with DirectX licencing and how well it would integrate with Mac OS if they did get it. I tell ya, it's a not nicer gaming on a PC now that I switched away.
Well I wasn't going to mention metal because this is all ancient history, almost two decades.
The difference is that Microsoft fully own DirectX (although they didn't originally develop it) whereas Apple never had much say over OpenGL's development. QuickDraw 3D was Apple's competing technology but it wasn't really designed for games and only Apple's own GPUs supported it.
Kiyoshi Kirishima You mean the Gerbils demo doesn't count as a QuickDraw 3D game?! :) I still have my PCI QuickDraw 3D card from Apple - it made Havoc look so sweet. Haha
Hahaha that brings back memories! Apple was pushing QD3D hard in the late 90s and even baked it into the OS. It was just gaining traction when it was killed off.
I'm an C++/OpenGL developer and OpenGL is probably the worse API I've ever had to use but I've also learned to be cautious of ANY new tech Apple introduces and that goes for metal. Glad I never bought into the OpenCL type.
Yep. The list of canceled stuff is practically endless. Everything from OpenDoc to Copland, System 7 Application Linking (which as far as I know was never used). Goes on and on.
In 1999 I worked at Atea in the Netherlands, now a days there stands an I - Mac. Thanks to Steve and others.
Woah, a 25MB Photoshop file opened in just 45 seconds, astonishing.
it is difficult to imagine it is only about 20 years ago... and a Sony Memory Stick with 100MB was like $110... and today a 256GB microsd card is like $18... between 2 years, it may be hard to see what the different is, but between 10, or 20 years, the difference is mind blowing. My god... 100GB spindle hard drive 28:22... today it is easily 1TB SSD hard drive
This was a period where Apple computers had distinctly superior value over Windows PCs. What a time..
In some ways. Those performance demos were very biased though.
@@kirishima638 Not at all, you idiot. Apple uses industry standard benchmarks.
LOL. That overpriced junk had half the performance of the same priced Windows computer at the time. Yes I lived it.
Macs cost a fortune vs PCs back then.
@@TechRyze "back then" if you were talking 1989 not 1999, I'd agree, though a ton of examples could still find PCs with top specs in the same league. It's just that when you get into 5 figures, you probably wouldn't want the other brands? Especially later on when it goes from being a tool into nostalgia.
Awesome, what a time. Should have bought lots and lots of shares back then.
I really wish when you encoded this video that you did BOB deinterlacing and 60 frames per second, and upscale to 720p, that way VHS looks as good as it possibly can on RUclips.
Thanks for posting the video, it is fantastic to see it in such great quality. You may have noticed this already but this video is from the January 1999 MacWorld in San Francisco (as per the title card at the beginning) and not the 1998 MacWorld in New York. Looking forward to more clips.
Fixed, just grabbed the text from the wrong video. Thanks! (can you guess what the next one is? haha)
Just watching that video now. Thanks for posting it too. A great trip down memory lane.
In what way is the quality "great"? There looks to be two instances of lossy digital compression (on the capture side and the RUclips side) which has visible and audible artifacts, so is worse than the VHS quality?
@@RWL2012I guess “great” is always relative. Before this copy of the keynote came online I only had one where I recorded the stream via 56k modem myself onto VHS. It buffered a few times in places and I would have to manually start and stop the stream to get it going again.
That cough in the background....
This wasn't my first Mac but I sure loved it. I upgraded it into oblivion and was able to keep it going for years.
48:18 Jonathan Ive looks like a completely different person!

Golden Era
42:55 "There's a gigabyte of memory." Damn, that thing was loaded for its time. 23 years later and typical machines only have 15x the memory or so standard.
macbook still 8 :) and 1 port :) but 1600£ + monitor 1000£ this was super expensive even now! almost 3k :/ in 2000 people work for 3£ per hour now 11 and 2.5k i masive amount
Ah, 90's!
1:38:38 What a strange sentence to hear in 2023. Oh have things have changed without you Steve..
“Our commitment to make Mac the best gaming machine in the world” oh boy, he had no idea..
1:33:16 remains of Crash Bandicoot in there lol
This presentation must predate the invention of the black turtleneck and the new balance running shoe
I still think that was the best computer design even today. I was sorry i was never in the market in those days for one.
I wasn't but I sure as hell spent other people's money on one as soon as it came out. I carried the damn box with my bare hands for 20 minutes (normal walk: 5 minutes) it was so damn heavy but I was determined to get this weird-ass miracle to the server room.
Why did Steve clear his throat so much during this era? There are several videos of this online. Anyone know?
Are you sure it's Steve? I can hear it while Steve it talking so I don't think it's him.
@@OldAussieAds it’s definitely him
Waren es schon leichte Anzeichen von Steve's verhängnisvolle Krankheit? 🤔🙄
Love the battle Apple tried with USB
It really felt like a special kind of innovation, didn't it!
Just take a second to take a swig of water, holy crap...
for real!
I knew a guy who used to sell computers. Whenever someone would ask him about the new iMac: He'd show them the system and ask them "Ok, say you want to share some files with your work or friends?"
The customer would look at the iMac, then say "There's no floppy". The sales rep would then divert them to the better price margin PC section and sell a Windows system.
Yes, it was like this back then.
Only if Steve jobs could see this now
Wonderful Video, great memories, but his non-stop throat-clearing makes me nervous!
Who is it that's constantly clearing his throat? It's horrible.
Fuck, I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Now I can't hear anything but his constant throat clearing.
@@keaton718 sorry 🙈
@@OldAussieAds Steve was the one coughing.. he was sick at the time, I think.
i love the space odyssey skit 🤣
Genius intro!
Johnny Ive looks like an adult film star from the 70s!
The SGI strategy change was such a failure 😅
Best design and most expandable. 2023: you get what you get
6:03 if you’re looking for Steve already 🙄 😂
52 MB where did 'we' start with KB and 1000 bit's/p/sec. The speed isn't finished yet. The law of Moore is still continous. Where can we go from here, further so to say. Thanks for this presentation, Phil Schiller and Steve Jobs., kind regards, engineer/office-manager.
Tim Apple would never have the balls to go in front of a real audience like Steve used to do!
The early Quake 3 Arena demo is wild. I've never seen that before. Also I recall Connectix Virtual Game Station running pretty poorly so that hiccup in the demo was not surprising. They also were sued out of existence if I recall correctly.
Wtf! Ps1 game emulation back then? Wow..never realised how ahead of the game apple were! 🤯🤯🤯😎😎😎👍👍👍
This was a third party product. VGS was a pretty solid emulator with a very user-friendly interface, although it didn't enhance visuals at all
Here’s to the ones that can endure the noise of this freak’s cough
It's weird to me that the iPhone only came out 8 years after this.
John getting a little too excited at 1:20:37
10:12 - he meant IBM. LOL
I caught that, too
Apple on Apple about Apple for Apple on Macworld with Mac i mean iMac of Apple. What is going on? I mean, I used my AMD based PC to learn programming, to play nice DOS and less Windows games. And it was awesome.
The DOOR!
39:20 - iPod precursor hard drive. Right down to the internal FW400 port.
What is that coughing/sniffing/throat-clearing sound happening every few seconds?
I know, so annoying!
Far out! I can't watch anymore. It's too much for me to handle. I wish who ever it was would drink a glass of bloody water or piss right off.
That was Steve.. He was sick at the time.
How many times can you say MacWorld and Apple? - Yes
13:05 Wow a 25MB File was hard to process at one point and time Unbelievable lol
100 GIGABYTE INSIDE THE PACKAGE. 100GB!
I've never heard Jobs have this continuous cough. A nervous tick that the solved since this?
Funny to choose Joan Baez for opening music, her and Steve dated but we was weird asf to her.
Think Different

Where can I buy FireWire it looks amazing 😂😂
Firewire is going to explode!
Some guy is perpetually coughing.
Lol that was Steve coughing 😭
"Archived" on RUclips with what looks like two instances of lossy digital compression (on the capture side and the RUclips side) which has visible and audible artifacts, so is worse than the VHS quality?
Do you have a higher quality original for the Smithsonian?
Wou
“Interim CEO.” Remember that bullsh!t?
“We want to be the best gaming platform in the world!”😆🤦♂️
Bless him!
Oh boy, that didn’t age well at all..
Very interesting at 10:10 Steve Jobs misspeaks and says the G3 processor from Motorola and "Intel" instead of IBM. I wonder if this is evidence of Apple secretly working with Intel chips porting Mac OS even back then.
This is very likely a Freudian slip. First rumors of an Intel transition already popped up in 2000. Today we know that there were late Rhapsody builds that could run on x86 in '97. We also know that in 2002, there was an entire team at Apple that continually worked on internal x86-compatible builds of OS X. It is highly likely that OS X was x86-compatible from the beginning and it's also likely that Jobs wanted to switch the Macs to Intel already when he came back to Apple. But because of several reasons they weren't able to pull this off directly with the release of OS X and also, PowerPC architecture looked like it was going somewhere for a couple of years.
after 23 years only your wallet must expand, and pro users can open door and get out
APPL Stock low 25ct at the IT crisis.
Still looks better than the 2019 cheese grater
bro who the fuck is that constantly coughing every few seconds starting around 12:00
nevermind it's goddamn steve
Take 1 letter from HAL you get IBM

Who is coughing
Steve, he must have been sick or something
Estebe
IS STEVE OKAY
He's trying to clear his throat without doing it all at once loudly
@@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904 new product iVape some hidden test :)
Imagine back then, I gave my dad the 400 bucks I had saved up to upgrade my Pentium PC to an AMD K6, and asked him to put it all in AAPL ($0.4 per share).....
1:32:15 and guess who managed to destroy that chart in few years: Google.
42:15 wow apple lost the way here!
It's a shame apple never continued with FireWire
It kinda lived on. There was a Firewire 1600 and I think 3200 spec created, but I don't think anyone really adopted it. By then USB was way faster and although it had its own limitations it didn't matter when it was 5x the speed.
Thunderbolt is sort of the descendant no? Firewire was so much nicer to use than USB back then since it offloaded protocol negotiation to dedicated hardware... it also had licencing fees attached I think... hence the prices.
49:02 "If sex is power, and the computer gives you power, there's lots of sex in these machines."
Taking the logical approach to "sex sells," I see.
1:26:10 "great performance" lol
33:00 No i watsnt big deal - should be but wasnt, just as thunderbolt because you licensed it, you screw that, it was great, instead make it free like USB to witch company only pay for vendor ID and product ID only if you customize chipset, you licensed it, for having firewire logo on product.
36:13 Դա այն բառն է, որ ես այնտեղ եմ, բարև մայրիկ:
Who is it that's constantly clearing his throat? It goes on and on and it's bloody annoying.
Steve?! 🙄🤔
@@davidb.9940 Is it? Man, no wonder he always had a bottle of water.
Somebody else has an active mic on and started coughing down it.
@@smash461986 But there are people here that reckon it’s Steve. It certainly doesn’t appear to be Steve to me.
@@OldAussieAdsIt definitely is Steve. You can tell at 1:06:13
before it became a $2 trillion dollar company
49:08
Do you have the raw DV for this? I think we can recover the 60fps interlaced information. (Also: Did you use S-Video or was it really VHS?) I used that exact Canopus for years but there's probably better results with 4K gear, which weirdly works better thanks to all the tricks from the last 20 years of upscaling. The Last Best Solution has also just arrived: "vhs-decode", the ultimate final digitizer.

“Design is not about how it looks, it’s about how it works” - Steve jobs
Me: i think both are important the design & the functionality of the design.

@@drewpowers7236 I read that wrong, yes my bad.
Jonathan Ives with hair !
What the hell, is that sound. Is the camera man, coughing
No, that was Steve coughing..
5:57 like a rockstar, craw nuts. Actual Apple Tim Cock conferences are damn boring and human less.
Yes, Cook has less cult-leader charisma than Jobs had.
