    The Commodore Amiga series would have been miles better for this task. the Apple 2GS didn't have capable fast chipsets, numerous amounts of Genlock/video digitizer/ picture editing software options or a fast enough CPU in comparison

  • @SteinGauslaaStrindhaug

    But the defining feature of snapchat, that the image is automatically deleted after a few seconds is unlikely to be popular when it takes several minutes to download it in the first place. I remember in the early '90s if I had downloaded a somewhat large image I would treasure it (probably copy it to a floppy since HD space was limited) even if it weren't specially good, just because I'd spent so much time waiting for it to download.

    But we *did* edit and share images in the 80's. That's what uu encoding on bulletin boards was for. Each image was converted into ASCII, split into a half dozen or so messages, and glued back together again by hand to feed into uudecode.
    Taking minutes or hours to get a picture wasn't an issue. I once setup a QuickKeys macro to keep pressing "Y" all night to download MacinTalk through a pager. Then I used Find&Replace to remove all the "Press 'Y' to continue..." and decoded it, and it worked!

      It's mostly the speed, chat and disappearance
      When you take a low-quality photo and send it to someone on a messaging platform, it'll stay there
      When you send it on Snapchat, it's there only for a few seconds
      It also makes it incredibly easy to share your day with others

    The Amiga would be far better than that Apple crap. Scan photo in ham mode (4096 colours with a perceivable 262000 with software optimisation), Edit in Dpaint 3 or similar, upload using one of the many comms programs available. For animation theres fantavision or dpaint among others. For video there were quite a few digitisers available. So yeah, Amiga for the win..

    • @meetoo594
      @meetoo594 6 років тому +1

      @mirek: First Mavica was early 90`s wasnt it? I guess you would need crossdos as well.
      As an aside, I used one of the first Apple digital cameras at a very short lived job I had in the printing industry. It was unbelievably bad for the price the company paid, they would have been better off just taking 35mm photo`s and digitising em with an Amiga but for some stupid reason they had to use Apple equipment.

    • @MirekFe
      @MirekFe 6 років тому

    • @meetoo594

      Thats mostly done server-side I think, the app obviously deletes after a time but that's easily bypassed by screenshotting the (probably sexual) picture. Any 80`s bulletin board could automate the deletion and probably handle deleting off the users machine as well if it used a dedicated program to access the service.
