Good Morning...

When I first moved to this house I got a Mac Proforma 6400 VEE. VEE stood for Video Editing Edition. It had an extra video card that would input/output Video and Svideo. It would also do firewire, etc. It also had software to deal with doing the video stuff and could make a DVD. Don't remember what the heck I did with it when I upgraded.

It was really fool proof and don't know why Apple changed. When you opened the box there was a poster that SHOWED step by step how setup and plug in the Mac, monitor, keyboard, mouse, camera, etc.

When you followed the instructions and turned it on, the young lady walked out onto the desktop and showed how to use the mouse and keyboard. How to navigate, etc. She pointed at the things you were supposed to click on, etc. Any time you clicked on the help icon she would walk out onto the screen and show and tell you how to do whatever it was you were trying to do in any of the programs that came on the computer including word and excel and the video apps. It was actually very amazing.

That was the only mac I ever got that came with such involved help like that.

Wish I could find something like that for my brother Bob. For someone that has had computers for so long he sure doesn't know how to do anything. He doesn't even understand you can type a question or subject in the web browser and it will search the internet.

When I had the VEE Mac I sent birthday and holiday cards to my family members that were videos on a CD. That was really cool back then. Sadly was all I ever diid with it.
