"Welcome to Macintosh"

"Good artists copy, great artists steal"
The apple documentary "Welcome to Macintosh" was very intriguing, and insightful. This movie had a lot of interesting facts. One thing that I thought that was cool was that Microsoft gave Apple $150 million dollars to help keep Apple alive and not go bankrupt, they realized that if they wanted to be number one, they do not need to beat Microsoft, they just need to become really good. Steve Jobs, one of the first owners of the Apple company never intended to sell the computers, they were just going to give them away.

They eventually went to Minnesota and actually found someone that wanted to buy the computers. The first computers that were made was called "Apple II". Apple had many complications, but even with these complications they still overcame and turned out to be a very successful company. This documentary had many people that worked with the company, being interviewed and giving information about how apple has expanded over the centuries. This movie had a lot of funny parts as well that I liked. This one part of the movie, one of the designers of apple was saying "engineers are retards". I think this movie deserves a 3/5, although this movie did seem a little long and was kind of boring at times.

  1. This review started out pretty solid, but towards the end of Tanner's section it began to repeat itself. Josh's section contained several grammar mistakes and he stated a false fact. The the Apple computer he spoke of featured 16kb of RAM and 30mb of memory. I suggest he fix his mistakes if he wants to attract readers.
