  • That video cured me of my retro-computer interest. I can't wait to watch the next Apple Event live! 1

There is still a new-in-box TI-99 available for $300, reportedly never opened. Which statement best reflects your feelings?

My 2¢ ramble: I certainly won’t mind an extended TI-99 vid with the unboxing and a little branching out with the channel. However, I hope you keep the main focus on the retro Mac stuff. You’re one of very few, if not the only, content creator who master this Mac niche. There are already many general retro computing-focused channels around which show a little bit of this, a little bit of that, most of which I am not especially interested in. Then again, with your humor and presentation style you could make videos of shoes and I’d probably still keep on watching. Cheers :)

What I enjoy most about your videos is that I learn something each time. Whether it’s a technical oddity about a particular Mac or a relatively unknown bit of Apple history, there’s always a new discovery for me. I’ll never tire of videos covering vintage Apple hardware because of the nostalgia factor…but there’s so much vintage computing history that I didn’t experience personally. If you’re able to fill me in on some of that with the same humor and easy-to-watch style, I’d welcome it.

Great feedback, thanks! Rest assured, I plan to keep my main focus on the Mac. But that's an interesting point that aiming too broadly can alienate viewers who have specific interests. I'm glad you'll stick with me even through my shoe phase. :)
