Tech: 20th Anniversary Mac (TAM) UnBoxing & First Boot
BackREAD ME FIRST: I was fortunate to procure a mint, new, in the box 20th Anniversary Macintosh, also known as the TAM. In this video, with Adam B working the camera, we unbox this piece of Apple history, and show its first boot, after ten years sealed in the box.

Technical/Production Notes:
Filmed in 1080i Hi-Def with the Sony HDR-HC1. Photos taken with the Canon EOS 40D with the Canon EFS 17-85 lens and Canon Speedlite 580EX flash. All settings were on n00b (automatic) on the Canon. MacBook Pro (2.6 ghz, 4 gigs of RAM, 17" hi-def matte monitor) was used for the live WebCast. Edited in iMovie (40 gig project file) in 1080i Hi-Def. Compressed using H.265 and medium to high resolution.
I made this purchase to share with everyone. I hope you enjoy it. Please pass along the video to your other Apple Mac fans!
