- This is the second video on the Apple Macintosh Portable from 1989.
In this video, the Macintosh Portable will be started up to demonstrate the Macintosh System 6.0.8.
Microsoft Excel 1.5 will be demonstrated, along with Microsoft Word 4.0.
Saw this machine on Twin Peaks - just had to look it up! Thanks. :)
That mouse click - it sounds exactly like all those royalty-free mouse sound effects
10:12 lol! Great video
Thanks for your videos! I really enjoyed your detailed explanations.
Олег Репетун Thank you!
The distant ancestor to the iPad!
that version of Excel looks more usable then the latest version
To create a graph in that excel first in the worksheet you select the values you want to chart and then go to file menu and select new… and then you select chart, and it automatically makes the chart
Hello there Great video I watched your videos and they are really cool well they are more awesome than cool keep it up hope you make more
I've seen your videos and all I can say is that they are great. They have also gotten me really interested in old Macintosh computers. I am about to make my purchase for a Macintosh Portable. The previous owner says the mac does not have the battery ( which I assume is quite common.) But the owner also says the sad mac icon while booting is the result of not having the battery. Is this correct?
Jun Hong yes they will not work without the battery unfortunately.
Hi there! I Fantastic video-as are all of them. have a 1989 Macintosh Portable myself. I've rebuilt the battery and it works perfectly. However, it does not have a functioning hard Conner hard drive, so I've been running it exclusively off of diskettes (lots of disk swapping!) Do you know of any replacement drives that would work with the machine, or where I might look for an original? Thank you so much!
Love your videos.
Thanks for the feedback! There are many more videos to come!
Sweet! I want one of these for my collection now!
Kinda sad that this was considered the "Worst Luggable for 1989" and yet it reeks of late 1980s to early 1990s computer nostalgia.
By any chance are you a school teacher ?
can I buy this macintosh portable from you
Don't you have any game for the old macs?
I do - and I will be showing more of them in my future videos!

It's quite a shame how much computer quality has plummeted since the mid 90s. Most of the cost savings has come at the expense of quality. That the hard disk still functions is a testament to how much higher quality computers and components were back then. Even the lowly case has taken a dive in quality. I don't think there is a single computer on the market that comes standard with a good keyboard. The power supplies use substandard parts and are prone to failure. The electronics components are terrible and nobody can keep track to assure quality components that are not pirates.
Of course, software has also plummeted. They use the cheapest foreign labor they can find and you end up with bloated software that is full of bugs. America invented computers and can no longer manufacture its own computers!
I think the keyboard on my new HP laptop is pretty good, it's certainly useable and feels relatively comfortable to type on.
