We've found these historical lost videos in 2004 and restored and published them to the world on January 24., 2005, when the Mac became 21 years old.



The news about our discovery was published simultaneously on c|net, Yahoo, Slashdot, metafilter, Heise, at Woz.org, Kottke as well as on every single Mac page in the universe (you just wouldn't believe what happened to our poor old server...:) Here's the complete story and background:

• our announcement on January 24, 2005 (english, german)
• report about the chaos that followed (german)
• how all that came to happen (german, 1/2)
• 5 page report in MacUp (german, PDF)
