I’M BACK!!!

This is a good one – 14 Macs, ranging from 1998 to 2010, 233 MHz G3s to 3.6 GHz Intel Core i5s, Mac OS 9 to macOS 10.13. Who will be the winner? I… will let you find out. :)

There's a few minor typos in the results screen – some of the times are slightly off. I have no idea what I was doing, but they're still there.

** You’ll notice a few things are different: #1, MORE COMPUTERS!! They will have their own feature videos in the summer. Lined up, the Mac Pro, Bondi Blue iMac, a 2010 iMac, an iMac G5 (which needs to be repaired) and the 14-inch iBook G3 (which I fixed in time to shoot its own video, but the graphics issue has since returned unfortunately, which is why it isn’t in this video). You’ll also notice the absence of the Macintosh Performa 476, which has stopped working. I believe it may be capacitor issues, as it appears they have leaked/blown out on the board. Apparently, this is a relatively easy fix (according to a friend of mine). I’ll have to see.
