Can you boil down the history of Apple to two minutes? Sure you can! This is the era of communicating in 140 characters, so who needs those pesky books, what with their words and pages and weight. Who has the time and physical endurance required to read a book these days? Thankfully, we’ve got YouTube and good folks like applemctom who has given us the History of Apple, told in two minutes.

Tom is the fellow who gave us the History of Mac Games video, and this one is just as good. There’s plenty of nostalgia to be found here. Sure, there’s “1984,” but how can you not love seeing those spinning, candy-like iMacs again? Even “Myst” makes a cameo. But it’s not all good times; remember the Newton? Quadra and Performa? Pippin? Dark days, indeed.

But my yappin’ has already taken as long to read as it would to just watch the video, so have at it.
