MacAdvocate - Why People Prefer Macintosh (1996)

October 31, 2026 · 24 min

Show notes

Original text from the MacAdvocate Kit: “Why People Prefer Mac”.

Apple politely trash talking Windows ‘95 for half an hour.

Counterpoint to the random SCSI controller bug story: data loss on SCSI ID 5 on first generation Power Macs.

Hands up if you ever did guerilla marketing for Apple at a computer store or other public venue in the 1990s.
