Video: 1984 Mac vs. 2007 PC with Better Specs

To be fair, I have a feeling that the old Mac, which was also the exact same as my very first Mac, could also probably repeat the above if you also pitted it against a new brand new Mac when it came to boot-up times. Maybe the new SSD MacBook Airs would be it, I don’t know?
The reason, is of course, that the old Mac’s OS only comprised about a whopping 184k of memory!
Boy, oh boy, how times have changed!
New Macs with SSD, such as the $999 MacBook Air will definitely beat the 1984 Mac in boot speed.
