Real MR Old Skool...

[spikeovsky]

For a bit of fun, check out MR as it was four MWSF keynotes ago (or shortly before)...

Lucky bastards got a live keynote stream!

You need to remove the http://<br%20/> from your link.

To make a link do this:

Old MacRumors (http://web.archive.org/web/20010119180800/http://www.macrumors.com/).

Which will be this:

Old MacRumors (http://web.archive.org/web/20010119180800/http://www.macrumors.com/).

To make a link do this:

Old MacRumors (http://web.archive.org/web/20010119180800/http://www.macrumors.com/).

Which will be this:

Old MacRumors (http://web.archive.org/web/20010119180800/http://www.macrumors.com/).

Or simply paste the URL:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010119180800/http://www.macrumors.com/

and make sure "Automatically parse links in text" is checked, or use the Insert Hyperlink button in the toolbar to get this (http://web.archive.org/web/20010119180800/http://www.macrumors.com/).


Edit: We all lambasted your URL posting but didn't thank you for the link. It's always fun to see what we were talking about in years past. I loved the "iPad" reference to a new PDA, as well as looking forward to a 733MHz G4.

Actually, the first time I posted the link it was as a "link" - but I posted it from a particularly dodgy Windows machine at a particularly dodgy internet cafe, and was having trouble getting it to work (as winter artifice discovered). I decided it would be easier to strip any sort of fancy code and just put it in as text. Annnnyway, I don't mind your lambasting, since I know you're all trying to help :)

I like the iPad bit, too. On the PDA front, I was looking around my computer the other day and found I had saved the complete set of iWalk photos and videos. Ah - good times! I think it's also funny how there's a rumour about what would eventually become the Segway. I'd forgotten how obsessed people were with it!

Nice page ;)

It's interesting to see how MacRumors page design has changed over the years. Looking at archived versions of pages is a perfect way to do this.

wow, MR certainly had a different look back then, its interesting to see how the site has evolved though the times

[Macmaniac]

Those were the good old days, this was shortly before I bought our iMac with the CDRW drive which was rumored on that page:) Hard to imagine posting on MR with a Performa 6300CD on a 16k modem:)

I loved the old page design, maybe we should bring it back for awhile for nostalgias sake;)

I remember that keynote! A powerbook G4 was indeed announced, as predicted by MR, and I ordered one as soon as the Apple Store came back online. Woohoo! I had the world's fastest laptop with the biggest screen! (actually it was just a Ti400, but that 15-inch screen rocked!)
