What is this?

I was editing some old movies for an anniversary coming up, to make a "memories" DVD.. These are probably 15-25 years old. I was fastforwarding through the christamas tape when.. whoa! Is that an apple box? What do you suppose this is? A mac classic or something? See attached video.

It's a box.

OK, sorry, I'll get my coat...


To be honest, I don't know what model of Mac it is, but I was surprised that the Apple logo was one color, and not the stripey one which I associate with the 1980s and 1990s.

Hmmm, anyone able to shed any light?

Yeah, thats what I thought when I saw it. It definatly old film: it came off reels (super 8mm film). It's not important to know what it is, just interesting..

Thats like the applecare logo.. mabey it's a HUGE applecare box. They had everything on floppys, you know.

The film date is 1982..
(iMovie claims it was captured 2017, but the reel says 1982..)

If it really was 1982, that would be pre-Mac!

If I remember right the old Apple II boxes also had just a red logo. One color is so much cheeper to print on the cardboard, I also seem to remember that we had an apple brand monitor that came in a box like that but I could be wrong. I mean I was like 8 or something. (Although we did keep the boxes for years)

Well, Apple made things like the Apple I, the Apple II, and the Lisa, but they were not Macs. The Macintosh was launched in January 1984.

Definitely pre-Mac *and* pre-Lisa, so it's got to be either a monitor or an Apple ][ of some kind. Size would say a monitor, imho.
