It's the end of another year, a strange year to live through in 2020 and a strange year for Apple in retrospect. Apple kept pretty quiet in 2000, releasing only what was necessary as they prepared for the launch of Mac OS X in 2001, as well as the PowerBook G4, iTunes, and iPod. We look back on Apple's transitional 2000 and discuss how using 20 year old computers have given us a new perspective on the technology we use today. Matt pulls out his Bean Stash and Josh goes through the looking glass as he discovers much more about a lost product from 2000.
