power of its 68020 line of computers. First up, a group of talented 
artists produced "Pencil Test," an animated short created entirely on a 
Macintosh II. Animations: Tempest, Her Majesty's Secret Serpent, Pigment 
Promenade, The Audition and Splash Dance are also shown. John Lasseter 
and Andrew Stanton of Pixar fame are listed in the credits.

discharge), in a rather entertaining video about how static electricity 
can harm Service Parts. Good for teaching on this subject, one of the 
BEST. Not as boring as it sounds!

 Mac vs. PC. In a well done feature, Apple goes head to head with OS/2 
and early Windows. Many of the comments hold true today. It's quite an 
eye opening video, fun to watch.

 Macintoshes building Macintoshes. Apple's pride and joy, the 
$20-million, ultra modern Fremont facility where many early Macs were 
made. Shows the Mac SE and Mac II being built, tour of entire plant.
