Cormier6083 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Quote It's not every day that you can buy a brand new computer that's over 10 years old, but Alfred DiBlasi managed it: an eBay find of an original Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, fresh in the box. In the 22-minute unboxing video (more than ample even by our standards) Al and his buddies remove the artifact from another era from its packaging and boot it for the first time. Zoom ahead to the 20:00 mark to watch the delightfully pretentious "Design Is Art" QuickTime intro movie (worth YouTubing on its own, if possible) and enjoy the Michael Hedges-esqe (possibly actually Michael Hedges) soundtrack. (more after the jump) Link to Article: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/05/26/found-foota...nniversary-mac/ I think Engadget was being quite harsh on the video. That's why I hate myself for reading blogs. Because some blogs turn into serious issues, but they're nothing but a bunch of immature children when it comes to stories like this. Anyways, I was really giddy when I watched it, and it was fantastic. All I can say is that Mr. DiBlasi is one lucky man. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/639519-the-apple-tam-unboxing-after-10-years/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted May 27, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted May 27, 2008 I thought the whole thing was a big pretentious. It's just an old computer. >.> Maybe I can't see the bigger picture.

Cormier6083 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well, I think $10k is enough if you get a Limo and a concierge to set it up for you. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/639519-the-apple-tam-unboxing-after-10-years/#findComment-589434679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
