CROW: oh and i suppose you prefer a little animated clown who would juggle over to the little file cabinet and then wink at you and point to the right drawer
Mmmm...."Fat Agnus Drive", sounds like they didn't really know what the Fat Agnus chip did. If they did there would be no argument over Mac or PC, they would just be using the Amiga....
MacOS had a pretty long history at this point, going back to some fairly primitive hardware. System 7 was a pretty extensive overhaul and increased the RAM and CPU requirements for the system considerably. But this overhaul came with a lot of new functionality - virtual memory, networking and file sharing, and making cooperative multitasking a standard feature instead of an optional one. There was also a three-year gap between the release of System 6 (1988) and System 7 (1991) - a pretty significant departure from earlier versions of the OS (six major versions from 1984-1988, then only maintenance updates in 1989 and 1990). This episode aired shortly after system 7 finally shipped, though in the latter half of 1991 they were still dealing with some pretty significant bugs in System 7.

When this was filmed, I probably would have gone with the Amiga.
I still do!
"They expect you to be a machine to operate this machine!"
Tom Servo IS a machine!
Yes, that is the joke.

He’s THEEE machine
That's the point of the joke.
Sometimes I forget that the bots are machines.
Joel is adorable. Isn't it funny how Crow is "Mr. I Know Computers" whereas in a later episode he's a total noob with "The Information Superhighway"?
All those terrible movies will mess with your memory.
@@AmyLSacks LOL!
I can totally see Joel using an Amiga!
Video Toaster included.
I go by what a salesperson at Best Buy once said, once you go Mac, you'll never go back. Kim Komando has even chosen Mac over Windows.
1:25 His what drive? Pat Sajak?
0:30 Jooooeel, you have such beautiful eyes, and yet you always keep them closed!
Weed, man
Mmmm...."Fat Agnus Drive", sounds like they didn't really know what the Fat Agnus chip did. If they did there would be no argument over Mac or PC, they would just be using the Amiga....
PC or Mac? Nah, Joel prefers the Amiga.
I don't really understand what Crow is saying "Has anyone seen my ... drive?" Can someone explain?
Fat Agnus Drive. It's the version of Agnus that could see/use 1 megabyte of vram instead of 512KB.
What episode is this?

Heh
Can someone fill me in on “System 7”?

I feel like when I first used a Mac, it had System 7. The description I found online seems to match.
@@tetsujin_144 TLDR MacOS 7 took awhile to come out do to behind the scenes problems.
