"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello the zeldron 10 10 10 from the computer played on Vulcan Peter Klein calm with part two of the Macintosh SAE demo we left off last time with a brief demo of the Macintosh SE with an external hard drive hooked up to it with the operating system on that magically started working when I did the demo so I'm going to show you some more programs and other things I didn't show you last time and also do a little bit of a hardware tour so let's start little boots on and let's point for the startup things like less than 20 seconds alright we've got the desktop loading here okay it's ready so I'm going to do is open up the system 6 archive i renamed it instead of again a signor whenever or wherever personal a bit and what we're going to do is we're going to go into graphic supplies and stuff in here a full paint back draw a cricket graph I'm all better footing after I love it that sounded son to me I think this hard drive might be is dying well he's still working on it did experience a bit of the pub a rough fall a few weeks ago my cat actually knocked it off the top of the computer and actually fell on the ground so it's probably damaged on the inside but it's still working for now at least alright so we got mac paint I think back draw whatever it is Mac draw too okay and let's attempt to do something cool to swear oh yeah just working lines oh all right son action movies around and son there is wrong with you optics I think write something I choose any begin yeah it's a little bit tedious compared to modern programs i guess but anyway that's how that works let's take a look at the bottom after army phone it's by claris all right yeah the people make claris works i believe cabaret 1987 1989 now since i have multi finder on i can just click on this little icon in the corner here and switch between apps and I just switch back to the finder I don't know if I showed that in the last them or not but yeah I multi find her navel I can also open up the Apple menu scroll to the bottom and switch between apps here I can also choose about multi finder don't give me the whole definer information so we switch back to the app I click this little icon and I can go to file quit and no to those changes an hour back in the mac draw window will close this and open up full paint it's taken while all right this one might be a little bit easier to use oh let's change the size here it's don't work so well Wow there we go now we're getting somewhere there and I said hello all right draw a little smiley face so there you got hairs I think this was a full team let's see the information about full thing full paint and Arbor soft works incorporated there you go alright so we can quit this and know the changes and um Tetris is on here yes I got a different keyboard for this I can actually play Tetris start game I totally suck at this game though so don't expect much here we go oh the wrong place I don't want to do that oh man I forget it and lose so anyway this is part of the desk accessories layer so when you go to the about menu as you can see it says about das that stands for desktop accessories not district attorney and it says all the desk accessories are grouped into this layer so I can open up a bunch of desk accessories and simply go to file and hit quit to close them all at once or I can choose the application name and see information about that individual application so you go to Tetris and hit about Tetris and it gives me the about information about Tetris alright it's simply go to file pic whip and it closes all the desktop accessories alright so close that let's get one more thing let's see yeah it's microsoft word etc not much else in here there is word perfect well that's all i think these are just documents something wrong yeah I don't have a ram I don't want to change the memory settings let's see if I can open up anything well that just opens up and teach text I don't know why it's called that but that was the default text program of necklace um six or system sex let's put that always make sure about the teach text ya copyright apple in here alright so about that right alright so that's a few more software things and multi finder um i can now show you some of the hardware bits of this computer some of the shut this down and show you the harbor here we have the back of the Macintosh stn the scuzzy hard drive on top here is the scuzzy connector and I have the power for the MSC running through the hard drive so the hard drive is plugged into the wall with this power cable here but the SE is plugged into the scuzzy drive through here so the hard drive always stays off the computer always stays on now if I flip it on it'll turn the computer on so it's only one switch instead of two if you had them plugged in through two outlets you need to turn the computer on than the hard drive on but that's why you run it through here so this is all in one switch here's also the mouse that came with it it is the oh let's see the model here uh yeah it doesn't give the name for the mouse but it does hurt the keyboard i know it does this isn't the keyboard that came with it but the key word that came with it does not work too well this is the apple design keyboard it's relatively good but i don't think it's as good as the one that came with it the keys are a little bit harder to press the one that came with it is actually this one but some of the keys on there actually broken but this one's a lot easier to type on in my opinion there's the apple logo power button look at the back here just as an apple keyboard Apple computer corporated cupertino california made in USA you don't see that much more so that's a little bit of a back of the computer the front just has two floppy drives on it and of course the screen you need the screen to see what you're doing these are 2 800 k drives right here on the front and that's obviously the screen if you don't know what the screen is that I can't help you there but yeah that's about it I'm not going to open the thing because it requires a different type of screw driver and then what we only have Phillips and standard it doesn't use that users like the star tip or whatever so I don't feel like doing that but anyway yep that's a extended tour of the magnet aaj SE hope you enjoyedhello the
