I can’t believe you went into KidPix and didn’t click the Undo button. That man shouting “Oops!” and “Oh no!” live rent free in the nostalgia section of my brain.
Dude. Seeing and hearing kidpix genuinely brought me to tears. It opened a core memory of a time I wish I could go back to, where things were just simple. Probably should have appreciated those times more before I had to worry about taxes and healthcare costs, but this was a beautiful trip down memory lane. I had no idea I’d ever see it again and hear those goofy noises again, but it felt like being back in the computer lab again, every Wednesday after lunch. Thank you Wade ❤️
Yep, my childhood at school with Macs and Macintoshes had different games like that, and everyone would fight to play until someone started to kill them by putting two game disks in. Looking at you Mr and Mrs Fakington, then everyone had to play whatever built in games or whatever disks were in them without changing them because they couldn't just look to see if maybe the floppy disk had food on it or hit eject to see if there was already a disk in that Mac. Ah nostalgia.
Sorry not meaning to hijack your thread, but did anyone else see Matt's vid (Techmoan) on the old Mission Impossible tv show?? In a bunch of episodes, the little self-destructing tape recorder was .....(wait for it) ..........a CRAIG!! 😆
It was also a cheap way to make low end products fun, and helped a ton with visual identity. You weren't mistaking your translucent blue plastic portable stereo for your black leather wallet, unlike today where you can't identify what's a wallet, a smartphone, a car key fob, a charging bank, or a wireless speaker without picking it up and flipping it over because it's all black plastic.
Problem was these translucent plastics all became brittle and cracked after a couple of years: then in the 00s manufacturers became obsessed with that weird rubberised plastic that effectively melted at room temperature into a sticky mess!
@@Maxibon2007 The fragility issue mostly seemed to be an Apple (and inconsistently a Sony) problem. I've still got some stuff from the era like a lamp, pencil case, and Gamecube controller that hasn't cracked and has survived more hard hits than "ruggedized" devices of today.
The flat monolithic design of things today has unfortunately extended to user interfaces as well. It's weird to think that Windows 98 could be more interesting to look at than 10/11. Even kitchen appliances are mostly either some type of brushed metal and/or black. Design language in general now is just depressing.
Can't agree with him hating on the Performa computers though. I'm super nostalgic and fond of them 'cause we had them in school. Loved playing Brickles Deluxe, Triazzle, Space Junkie, and Oregon Trail on those things. Claris Works was fun too! Also the Accelerated Reader program started off my love for reading. Wish I bought one when they were abundant and practically free. They've gotten rare enough now people want like $300+ for them. Not to mention the shipping costs since they're heavy!
There were certain models that were complete crap and had hardware that was compromised on purpose to make other models look better. The 6200, original LC/LCII, and the 4400 for example.
KidPix took me back, and I didn't even grow up with that version! Just hearing the "Ding dong! Wow!" Immediately reminded me of being in school and drawing with this app. I haven't thought of KidPix in literal decades lol.
"It has a handle" has to be my favorite line by Steve Jobs when the iBook clamshell was released. Love handles myself that one of my PCs got modded with a handle. (There wasn't an accessory option so I got a drawer handle, screws, a piece of flatbar, and my dad's help with the drill and made it work.) Edit: I did not expect 900+ likes on a comment about handles LOL but thanks.
I miss the times where carrying around a laptop on a handle seemed like a good idea, but then the laptop bag took off and the handle idea seemed pointless.
WE'RE GOIN TO BENDIGO TO GET ME IMAC! Holy crap the kid pics sound effects, that unlocked a part of my brain I thought was lost to the concussions, alcohol, and time

Wade, thanks a million for unlocking the core memory of KidPix for us all!!! Computer labs for me were a vast sea of beige Dell Dimension Pentium III "pizza box" desktops, running Windows 98 and Novell GUI. There was another edutainment software too, that the name has been lost to the sands of time...
As soon as I saw that 90's blue clam shell, I immediately got hit with a wave of nostalgia of playing Bugdom at school. Totally wasn't expecting for Bugdom to actually show up in the video as well. I legit hadn't seen any gameplay of it since the 90s. Thanks for resurrecting that forgotten memory.
Yes, Bugdom!! I had an iMac at home that has this on it, lost many hours to it. Reinstalled it 10-odd years ago and posted some embarrassing gameplay on my channel.
I think we must have had the same childhood because this video was pure, 100 percent, concentrated nostalgia. Legitimately - thank you! This was a gift!
I loved playing Bugdom, Kid Pix, Appleworks Paint and Oregon Trail on my school’s iMacs back in the day! These were such great computers. Thanks for making this video, it was fun and I really liked it!
I may be gen alpha, but i LOVE the old mac startups. i found my grandparents imac g3, and when I turned it on, the noises it made intrigued me, and now im a nerdy tech guru who loves to take apart, and find out how everything works. the startup noise at 4:42 was so nice to hear.
I had completely forgotten about it until now. That game was my jam, until the one with the time traveling, laser shooting velociraptor came out. Edit: Nanosaur 2
I have one of the blue and white G3 towers. It was the first old computer I ever got ($20 from a surplus store). What I find funny is that if you want to, you could put a modern motherboard in it because it uses the microATX standard, which is the form factor of modern motherboards.
Going back to when Halo was going to be a Mac exclusive game, intoduced by Stevie J himself at Macworld '99. I had a grey G4 tower, it was great (and more customizable and accesible than a new Apple silicon system 😂)
Man, seeing KidPix really brings me back. My dad still has a mug he got made with a picture I made in it as a little kid. Cheers, dank, good video, made me smile.
You, dankpods, have unlocked my childhood with that bugdom game, I distinctly remember kid me and my mum being stuck on the level with giant feet crashing down on top of our character Good times

7:52 DUDE! I remember how awesome it was to play with Kid Pix in computer class in like 2006. I had totally forgotten about it until now. Great memories!
I didn't even remember what Kid Pix was but that part of the video unlocked a childhood memory from elementary school circa 2005. Our classroom had a couple Macs in one corner that could be used at allowed times. During one time that we were supposed to be reading and the teacher was slightly distracted, this one boy got up and went to one of the computers, opened Kid Pix, and started doodling with the paintbrush tool. The teacher very quickly realized what he was doing and pulled him away from it, but not before he made what looked like four alien-like blobules rising on stalks up from the bottom of the screen. I thought it looked hilarious and kept giggling about it the rest of the day
Mac OS X was yummy looking up to about 10.4. I def miss the colorful and fun era of computing. We'll get back there eventually I suppose. '90s fashion is coming back!
@@CharlesP2009 "We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them." - Steve Jobs describing the look of OS X when it was being revealed.
It was great. I remember theming Mac OS 8 on my old Mac to look like OS X with Kaleidoscope. It was overall primitive how it did it compared to the real thing, but I remember gawking at the scrollbars and checkboxes in awe. Then getting a new Mac early 2000s, OS X was just so wildly different and 'futuristic'. Using it now it's okay, but I don't understand why they've made the window buttons so tiny and all the other tinkering they've done. There's not much Aqua left, unfortunately.
I literally can’t believe you made this video, as I have just bought an ibook G4 (the generation after this one)! I wanted something slow and clunky that had trouble connecting to the internet so I could write with no interruptions (and also play The Sims 1). I loved seeing those old applications and hearing those old sounds again ❤
The amount of nostalgia i got to experience alongside mr.dank was a treat. BUGDOM WAS PEAK AS A KID! I remember playing the heck out of that in the elementary computer lab alongside this caveman karting game with the other kids, good times
It’s kinda cool to looking at a full fledged computer like this that’s so old, while at the same time recording the entire video on a pocket device that is many leagues more powerful.
I LOVED Bugdom. I used to play it all the time on my grandads iMac G3. We used to have the top of the line iMac G3 in the same blue colour at that laptop. Absolutely loved this era of Apple, by far the most iconic time for them for sure. Think I might have to get some of these stinky machines for the nostalgia. Great vid my guy ❤️
I grew up in an Apple family; we had a IIe, which had one of the best home ports of Pacman for the time, and I used to fiddle around with a Garfield greeting card maker as a toddler. Fast forward to 1999, and we get a G3 iMac in pink. I would have preferred the blue color, but my sister would eventually get one, which my parents and I would eventually get. I spent so much time on Cartoon Network's website, and Neopets, and then, I was introduced to web forums. Those are what I like to call my Internet formative years. I wouldn't trade that time in for anything!
Holy cow, Kid Pix literally brought up so many memories that I totally forgot where in my head, probably been about 20 years since I even thought about it. Mortality, sweet Jesus.
Always loved these designs. Had a lady friend who wrote novellas on one of the old CRT iMacs, and I adored the design of that machine. It was beautiful, lovely keyboard, clean UI, just a lovely machine.
I was in art school during the 2000s. My first experience with digital art was running Adobe Illustrator 5 through a sour apple green iMac armed with nothing but a mouse that didn't even right-click.
14:42 i have never seen anything that looks so familiar yet so AI generated and liminal in my entire life. this truly feels like a random snapshot of one of the rooms at the "Boston Children's Museum" where i used to go with my grandfather all the time. zany colors, late 90s-early 2000s clothing, and EVERYONE ACTUALLY TOGETHER??? IN A ROOM???
This was such a crazy trip down memory lane! I loved how long the video was, but I could have probably sat here for 5 hours warching you mess around on an old iBook
I remember when you could browse and watch videos on UA-cam circa 2007 via a 1997 Thinkpad (well, a used high end business model at least). Good times.
My mom had 2 of these when i was maybe 5, and gave me the broken kne just to pretend adult with 😅 But hearing that boot aound brought back an absurd amount of nostalgia
recently was at my sister's, and being the family's tech support i was setting up the tv and stuff, and out of the blue find the remote had pkcells in it. i laughed so hard and said "OH MY PKCELL !11!!!" took me 30 mins to explain to my sister that no, im not insane, it is a reference, and m8 theres this aussie youtuber etc.
This educational KRAFT-sponsored Software gives a lot of „Oscar meyer‘s periodic table“-vibes. Also interestingly IE:Mac is a completely different engine than the contemporary windows (and Unix!) counterparts
What a blast to the past. I want these kinds of designs to come back. They were so fun to look at! The catholic school I went to was over 100 years old and, for as long as I was there, exclusively only used Macs. So one day we went to the basement cafeteria (that had been defunct for a few years) and I saw what I can only describe as the Mac graveyard. I think every iteration of an Apple computer up until that point was there laid out to collect dust. The memory of seeing that lives in my head rent free.
11:00 - Microworlds looks really similar to Comenius Logo. You could draw stuff with the turtle to learn the basics of programming. There was a command for going forward and you could specify turns in degrees. And you could create loops. Fun stuff.
Up until the release of the white iBook, it was common to have any logo on the lid of a laptop face the user when the laptop was closed. Having a laptop was a premium experience and opening it was like opening a Whitman's sampler or a box of fine cigars. This changed with the popularity of the iBook in education and photos of lecture halls full of upside-down glowing Apple logos. For the next generation of laptops, Apple inverted the logo so that it was correctly oriented when looking at the back of an open iBook or PowerBook. The rest of the industry soon followed, with the exception of IBM with the ThinkPad.
@@johnruschmeyer5769 I love ThinkPads. My dad still gets issued an up to date ThinkPad every few years for his job. The internals are always better but the externals are always the same.
It's always bothered me that laptops put the logo so it's right side up when it's open. The one person who uses the machine constantly never gets to look at it the right way.
@@450AHX I question the actual enjoyment levels that a logo's positioning on a laptop can provide. If it somehow does annoy you, surely it would be more annoying to know that the logo is upside down the entire time you're using it
@@The_BoctorWade made a broad statement about "everyone else", which would include the IBM Thinkpads of the era regardless of what was pictured, which (barring exception for a single model with a janky keyboard mech) definitely weren't miserable machines. Some of HP's laptops from the time were solid too.
6:57 I THOUGHT THIS SHIT WAS A DREAM I used to play this all the time back in primary school they had it installed on like every computer in the school I would always just go on the pool model and move the camera around looking at the 3d space never made anything tbh I just liked looking at the models
I remember visiting my grandma's house in the middle of nowhere as a child. The only things to do where explore the creepy basement or play bugdom on her imac. Thanks for the memories
Reminds me of being in the computer lab at school. I'd take the time to chat with my buddies or even just look around at the other student's displays to see who was quicker on the draw or had a faster machine. And when we first powered on the computers you'd get to hear the startup tone 25 different times in stereo around the room. 🤣 LOL, and just triggered a memory of trying to print book reports and stuff. Those old LaserWriters were slow and your computer couldn't do anything else while it was printing. So it'd take the whole class like 30 minutes to print their papers. 🤣

Using it now it's okay, but I don't understand why they've made the window buttons so tiny and all the other tinkering they've done. There's not much Aqua left, unfortunately.
Leopard babyyyy
CoolPix and Kahootz was absolute peak childhood in the early 90's
we had kahootz 2 as a 2000's kid, no idea what it actually was for, i was 5-9
I remember getting blown away by the cute colors and the HANDLE WHAT
Yea my cousin had one of these, all this early thousands clear plastic tech is so nostalgic
We will never have anything made with this level of effort put into machines ever again.
I literally can’t believe you made this video, as I have just bought an ibook G4 (the generation after this one)! I wanted something slow and clunky that had trouble connecting to the internet so I could write with no interruptions (and also play The Sims 1). I loved seeing those old applications and hearing those old sounds again ❤
The amount of nostalgia i got to experience alongside mr.dank was a treat. BUGDOM WAS PEAK AS A KID! I remember playing the heck out of that in the elementary computer lab alongside this caveman karting game with the other kids, good times
It’s kinda cool to looking at a full fledged computer like this that’s so old, while at the same time recording the entire video on a pocket device that is many leagues more powerful.
I LOVED Bugdom. I used to play it all the time on my grandads iMac G3. We used to have the top of the line iMac G3 in the same blue colour at that laptop. Absolutely loved this era of Apple, by far the most iconic time for them for sure. Think I might have to get some of these stinky machines for the nostalgia. Great vid my guy ❤️
“Oh yes, mate” -DankPods, Nugget Extraordinaire
I grew up in an Apple family; we had a IIe, which had one of the best home ports of Pacman for the time, and I used to fiddle around with a Garfield greeting card maker as a toddler. Fast forward to 1999, and we get a G3 iMac in pink. I would have preferred the blue color, but my sister would eventually get one, which my parents and I would eventually get. I spent so much time on Cartoon Network's website, and Neopets, and then, I was introduced to web forums. Those are what I like to call my Internet formative years. I wouldn't trade that time in for anything!
Even your videos are internet relics.
about 3/4 the way through the video, I think that “Wheel” has taken over the computer.
holy shit, my family had one of those macintosh 6400s when i was a kid. insane throwback
Holy cow, Kid Pix literally brought up so many memories that I totally forgot where in my head, probably been about 20 years since I even thought about it. Mortality, sweet Jesus.
Always loved these designs. Had a lady friend who wrote novellas on one of the old CRT iMacs, and I adored the design of that machine. It was beautiful, lovely keyboard, clean UI, just a lovely machine.
I was in art school during the 2000s. My first experience with digital art was running Adobe Illustrator 5 through a sour apple green iMac armed with nothing but a mouse that didn't even right-click.
When I right click, my pinky still twitches and wants to command-click instead...
14:42 i have never seen anything that looks so familiar yet so AI generated and liminal in my entire life. this truly feels like a random snapshot of one of the rooms at the "Boston Children's Museum" where i used to go with my grandfather all the time. zany colors, late 90s-early 2000s clothing, and EVERYONE ACTUALLY TOGETHER??? IN A ROOM???
This was such a crazy trip down memory lane! I loved how long the video was, but I could have probably sat here for 5 hours warching you mess around on an old iBook
@14:33 The bird started laughing like DankPods. 😂
So true 😂
“Can’t wait to see what cool colors they’ll have in the future”
Apple still makes the iMac in fun colors at least, and the occasional iPhone
To be fair, the iPod came in cool colors, and so did certain iPhones and iPads. And also the iMac. So I guess colors are limited to the "i" products.
I remember when you could browse and watch videos on UA-cam circa 2007 via a 1997 Thinkpad (well, a used high end business model at least). Good times.
I used my Thinkpad T42 (2004) in 2019 before I built my PC, worked great for most things if you didn't care about the security risks of using XP lmao
I never had an imac or ibook but god everything in this video is like a portal back to when I was 7
My mom had 2 of these when i was maybe 5, and gave me the broken kne just to pretend adult with 😅 But hearing that boot aound brought back an absurd amount of nostalgia
recently was at my sister's, and being the family's tech support i was setting up the tv and stuff, and out of the blue find the remote had pkcells in it. i laughed so hard and said "OH MY PKCELL !11!!!"
took me 30 mins to explain to my sister that no, im not insane, it is a reference, and m8 theres this aussie youtuber etc.

1:18 That’s the best startup sound Apple has ever had
1:39
iBook and iMac G3 startup is nicer
They still use a slightly different version of it to this day

8:09 MY CHILDHOOD! Core memories unlocked
What a blast to the past. I want these kinds of designs to come back. They were so fun to look at! The catholic school I went to was over 100 years old and, for as long as I was there, exclusively only used Macs. So one day we went to the basement cafeteria (that had been defunct for a few years) and I saw what I can only describe as the Mac graveyard. I think every iteration of an Apple computer up until that point was there laid out to collect dust. The memory of seeing that lives in my head rent free.
This is such a huge nostalgia trip for me. My family has been using Apple computer since 1981.
Same! We had a Macintosh SE that I played Kidpix on constantly.
The consistent callbacks to aussie rick's bendigo cube is something that I have missed.
Kid Pix was the best! Holy the noises brought me back!!
My school had one of the desktop ones with tony hawk pro skater installed on it, what a legendary time.
When dankpod uploads its like for a brief moment all is right in the world.
8:10 Oh hey, it’s Tux Paint!
Oh hey, it's Mario Paint!
Thank you! I was trying to remember the Name!
Get in the car Wade, we gotta go to Bendigo to get me green cube!
11:00 - Microworlds looks really similar to Comenius Logo.
You could draw stuff with the turtle to learn the basics of programming. There was a command for going forward and you could specify turns in degrees. And you could create loops. Fun stuff.
Netscape Communicator. Talk about a blast to the past.
At 9:44, the little things popping up on the screen are called "stereograms" they don't have pictures in them, but you can google ones that do.
A platypus shouting "G'day!" is Wade's greatest Aussie nemesis.
Now what if the platypus wore a fedora?
My favorite period for apple is the 90's gray boxes and then the imacs with color were great and ive been a microsoft user ever since
8:48 I can see that being in a rich persons house.
2:57 is that Rick and Morty bushworld adventure reference I smell :0
Ye nah- I mean he definitely knows about it, but he actually did go to Bendigo to go to cashies lol.
The upside down logo was pretty smart, but not really
Up until the release of the white iBook, it was common to have any logo on the lid of a laptop face the user when the laptop was closed. Having a laptop was a premium experience and opening it was like opening a Whitman's sampler or a box of fine cigars. This changed with the popularity of the iBook in education and photos of lecture halls full of upside-down glowing Apple logos. For the next generation of laptops, Apple inverted the logo so that it was correctly oriented when looking at the back of an open iBook or PowerBook. The rest of the industry soon followed, with the exception of IBM with the ThinkPad.
@@johnruschmeyer5769 I love ThinkPads. My dad still gets issued an up to date ThinkPad every few years for his job. The internals are always better but the externals are always the same.
@@johnruschmeyer5769It also makes sense given that the iBook has a handle. When carrying it by the handle, it faces up.
It's always bothered me that laptops put the logo so it's right side up when it's open. The one person who uses the machine constantly never gets to look at it the right way.
@@450AHX I question the actual enjoyment levels that a logo's positioning on a laptop can provide. If it somehow does annoy you, surely it would be more annoying to know that the logo is upside down the entire time you're using it
1:19 “Weird.” But I actually weirdly love this Mac startup chime in this particular time in the dark ages of Apple!
Same

Take it back, or I call in a few favours with the emus
That was a photo of a Dell at 2:36.
@@The_BoctorWade made a broad statement about "everyone else", which would include the IBM Thinkpads of the era regardless of what was pictured, which (barring exception for a single model with a janky keyboard mech) definitely weren't miserable machines. Some of HP's laptops from the time were solid too.
/tpg/ still got shooters out there
@@KiraSlithAre you referring to the ThinkPad 701 series with the foldout keyboard?
StinkPad
6:57 I THOUGHT THIS SHIT WAS A DREAM I used to play this all the time back in primary school they had it installed on like every computer in the school
I would always just go on the pool model and move the camera around looking at the 3d space never made anything tbh I just liked looking at the models
I remember visiting my grandma's house in the middle of nowhere as a child. The only things to do where explore the creepy basement or play bugdom on her imac. Thanks for the memories
Thumbs up if you stuck out the full 20 seconds in real time and did NOT fast forward
Reminds me of being in the computer lab at school. I'd take the time to chat with my buddies or even just look around at the other student's displays to see who was quicker on the draw or had a faster machine. And when we first powered on the computers you'd get to hear the startup tone 25 different times in stereo around the room. 🤣
LOL, and just triggered a memory of trying to print book reports and stuff. Those old LaserWriters were slow and your computer couldn't do anything else while it was printing. So it'd take the whole class like 30 minutes to print their papers. 🤣
It didn't feel much longer than I remember it feeling, that's the messed up part.
@@The_Boctor that's what she said!
I... Didn't even realise I could have just skipped it
The longest 20s in any UA-cam video ever.
