Classic Macintosh Re-Imagined in Modern Fan-Made Ad

I suspect the video creator is French where period (.) is used instead of comma (,) as the thousands separator.... so, unless it’s tongue-in-cheek (either you or the video creator), no discount really 🙂

Actually in French, the space is used instead of comma for thousands separator. The period is not used at all, the comma is used for decimals.

This ad makes me want to buy something they no longer sell. They should advertise modern Macs this way.

Fantastic! Made me remember lots of fun back than.

I own this Mac, well the one sold right after it. And guess what, my good ol' Mac still works!

I was a computer science grad student in 1984, where we used dozens of VT100 terminals connected to a VAX 11/750 (32 MB of RAM and a huge 300 MB, multi-platter Eagle disk drive), but that's a whole other story... That year, the CS department bought a Macintosh 128k. I was pretty fascinated with the bitmapped display, but the first time I used it, I couldn't figure out the mouse. I'd click the button, and nothing would open. I'd try to click the button softly, then really wham on it... no difference. I remember when I finally got frustrated enough with the damn thing that I started repeatedly clicking it until something happened. I had just discovered double-click 🙂

The title made me think it was a modernized M1 classic Macintosh. It's only a matter of time before someone puts an M1 in a salvaged, retrobrighted Macintosh case, but so far the closest I've seen was an M1 in a G4 Cube.

I built one for my wife for Christmas. 128k Mac with an M1 Mac Mini inside and a small lcd screen harvested from an lcd monitor. It has functional classic keyboard and mouse as well.

Dude, that's so ****ing cool! You should start a thread about it in the Apple Silicon Macs subform; I'm sure a lotta readers would love it!
