Olds go nostalgic for the good old days of tech

Just that it wasn’t clear that the pixel indicated a new operating system. I wondered if Macs were going to be that enigmatic in the future.

But I didn’t mean to get into the Mac/PC debate. They are just different. I just thought it was interesting that a single pixel could put me on one path rather than the other.

No, I meant what you were pointing out in your graphic. Where was the pixel located?

This was the border of a window when the mac was first turned on. The pixel is in the upper left hand corner of the sets of lines. In the first set, the old operating system, the pixel between the horizontal lines next to the vertical line was white. The OS update is shown in the second set, with the same pixel now black.

Right now I’m deleting all my personal information off my iBook G4 and copying the HD contents off my Polycarbonate iMac onto a USB drive. This could take a while.

I bought the iBook G4 on March 22, 2004 and it still works perfectly.

I saw this video and it’s so impressive.
I don’t know why we don’t use this technology now. I think Mary Poppins still beats out so much green screen used now.
