The Power Macintosh 4400 (2018) (Patreon)

After six months, the Power Macintosh 9500 video had amassed 3,500 views on YouTube, and now it was time to release a companion video, picking up where the 9500 left off. This was my 9th video, featuring a Macintosh that was almost unknown because of the chaotic times it was released within. I wasn't even aware of it until 2010. Information on this machine is pretty limited, so much of what I talk about came from the machine, the included documentation and the discs.

An opportunity to get one in great condition and in the box for $20 at the end of 2017 made this video a reality. The machine is a window into the Clone and CHRP efforts just before Apple turned its back on them. In the video, I showed how to replace the battery, which did help some viewers get their 4400 running again. I then argue with the bundled software, like "Mouse Skills", "MS Office", "Apple Internet Connection Kit", "Norton Utilities" and discover a copy of "Marathon 2"!
