Never seen video footage of the introduction of the Macintosh in January 1984 was published for the first time on the Internet today. The German media agency TextLab has unearthed the only surviving video tape of the launch. Renowned Mac user Scott Knaster kept that Betamax video tape for 21 years.

21 years ago today, on January 24th 1984, Apple introduced the Macintosh. And we've seen that 1984 wasn't like 1984.

What we've never seen indeed, was the big day itself. Lots of historic stuff has been preserved - images, texts, even sounds, and the saga has been told on and on. However only very few people have actually seen how Steve Jobs pulls the first Mac out of this bag, how the Mac introduces itself to the public, Steves biggest grin ever, and how he is obviously overwhelmed by this moment in the Cupertino Flint Center.

Fear not, faithful Mac believers. We have found it. We have found what seems to be the only copy of a public TV broadcast on that very day. It was recorded and preserved by Scott Knaster, the "legendary Mac hacker", as Amazon puts it. Scott kept the tape (a NTSC Betamax III longplay) for 21 years since he keeps everything. Andy Hertzfeld saw it when he wrote the story "The Times They Are A-Changin'" on folklore.org. From there we followed the hints, and that's how we found it.

We worked with Scott to convert it from NTSC to PAL, we've polished it, cleaned it, huged it and digitzed it. Here it is. It goes back to the people who've made the Macintosh, and to the world. The complete material of about 2 hours is returned to Scott, Andy and the folklore.org people, and this weblog will report the story of the "missing 1984 video" in detail. We'll release other clips in the coming days, so bookmark and check back.

But now, Ladies and Gentlemen: please welcome - the 1984 Macintosh introduction video. A travel back in time...

You can try a time sliced download here, and if this is overloaded (it probably is), there are mirrors at macnews.de, php-schmiede.de, ppcnux.de, ftp.ppcnux.de, MacTechNews.de and elbewerk.

A lot of people don't know this...that Mac in the video wasn't an original 128k Mac.  It is a special 512k Mac...the 128k didn't have enough RAM to run the program.  But alas, I still love my original 128k Mac.[/size]  Grin

Well, I use it for Photoshop and PageMaker.  My parents are missionaries and I make all of their brochures and newsletters to give to the churches.  I also create my own brochures, newsletters, etc. for my customers here at the car dealership.  Another thing I do is make all of those military tribute web pages....I've created over 1,000 of them so far.  Other than that, I use it for general stuff like gaming, surfing the internet, converting my VHS tapes to DVD (I have a converter that works with iMovie), and burning music CDs (I hate MP3...I only burn in AIFF format).
