Review: Welcome to Macintosh (2008)
January 21st, 2010
You read that right. Hot on the heels of MacHEADS comes Welcome to Macintosh. This time around, it’s endorsed by Apple and thankfully, the angle of the documentary is more historical than fanboy.
While it’s quite a dry affair, the film is likely to get Apple-nerds wet and sticky as it’s largely comprised of interviews with key players in the development of Apple Inc (such as Andy Hertzfeld, Guy Kawasaki and Leander Kahne). There’s the mandatory Woz-worship and characterisation of Steve Jobs as demi-god, but Welcome To Mac handles things with a judicious amount of obsequiousness, making it watchable for the casually interested, and necessary viewing for any flavour of Mac nerd.
