The Apple Network Server 500

Though not technically a Macintosh, I talk about Apple’s first network server product. A detailed tour of the machine itself, as well as a look at the backstory, the rise, the fall and the legacy… or lack thereof. Also, the story of how this video came to be, beginning with a visit to Syd Bolton's Personal Computer Museum.
