Watch Tim Cook's Reaction as Fan Brings Vintage Macintosh to Apple Store Opening in Mumbai

[shinkansenwarrior]

Wow. Takes me back to 1988-1989, when the whole Human Resouces department at a hotel I worked at shared one Macintosh SE with an imagewriter printer. I think we blew a huge chunk of our IT budget on that one machine. That computer cemented in history.

Looks like super fake excitement to me

Perhaps a little micro dosing?

Perhaps today he can now authorize iOS16.5 beta 3 to be released to devs. (we we’re joking about this yesterday)

Yes he did look like he was really enjoying the stores opening.

SJ & Wozniak deserve the credit and not Tim.

 

[BarredOwl]

Nice to catch a CEO show some actual emotion once in a while.

Do you really think anything about his gestures and response was genuine?

More like a macro dosing of poppers.

If Apple are able to sell their products in India at American retail prices......

I guess the average bribe amount in India will go up to compensate.

The customer definitely proved his loyalty to Tim Cook. I hope Tim Cook gave him a free Apple Polishing Cloth to keep his Macintosh squeaky clean.

Now, for my favorite part of the show.

What’s that say? "Talk to the audience"?

Oh, God. This is always death.

Tim Crook visits India to expand profit

CNN reported it as "an original Macintosh". I said, no it's not, that's an SE!

Tim Crook visits India to expand profit

It’s pure marketing at its finest. He’s pretty much giving his personal time for free marketing.

Are you offering?

I‘m reading this thread and seeing people seemingly unaware that India is a complete country, with a billion and a half people in it, a middle class that‘s bigger than the entire United States population, & a functioning space program.

Meh still have a working 128 with the white 68000 chip inside.

Staged managed but nice to see.

Tim Cook at next Apple event: "I'm pleased to announce Apple's latest innovation in portable computers: The iMac SE"

When the Apple //c came out, Apple touted it as a portable computer...because it had a handle. Portable, as long as you don't mind carrying a CRT monitor around too.

 

[Matsamoto]

I haven't seen Tim Apple this happy since the last time he found a penny on the sidewalk!

After reading your comment I now think of Scrooge McDuck when I see and hear about Tim Cook😂

Sajid, a local ux designer, is still salty that in 1987 only 1MB of RAM and 20 MB of Hard drive space were standard, and complains about it often on his local BBS.

Apple haven't brought a new product out for six months so are having to stock the shop with vintage stuff.

I believe they had composite video output and came with a RF converter cable, so I believe the thinking at the time was that you could connect it to any display.

FYI Jan 17 2023 was when M2/Pro Mac Minis and 14”/16” M2 Pro/Max MBP was announced.

Right now is an another period till mid May they could announce updates, then it’s June 5th WWDC as the next possible hardware announcement time.

Antiques Roadshow, baby 🩲

Not sure about that. Can you please provide the first weeks sales? Apple needs to have a presence in India, regardless of how little they sell.

Did you read the article? Hint... 3rd last paragraph.

A Cook fan ? I'm impressed NGL

 

[sparkinstx]

Wow, that's cool. I passed on an opportunity once (20+ years ago) to get a couple of Mac SEs for free. They had been donated to a church rummage sale that my mother-in-law was organizing. I still kick myself that I didn't take at least one.
