"Welcome to Macintosh is a work of art devoted to the passion that lies in being a Mac-Fan, lovingly created by Mac-Fans" - Mac Life Magazine, Germany "Welcome to Macintosh" is the first documentary of its kind to mix history, criticism and an unapologetic revelry of all things Apple into a movie experience. The film explores the early years of Apple, the many challenges Apple has faced, and what the future may hold for the company and it's products. Ex-Apple employees, engineers and community members offer insight on the company's innovations, failures, cultural impact and what the future may be like beyond the reign of its co-founder Steve Jobs.

"Welcome to Macintosh is required viewing for any Mac user, new or old." Says James Savage, co-host of the RetroMacCast, a popular podcast dedicated to classic Mac users. "The film succeeds in chronicling the rich history of Apple through first-hand accounts by the colorful personalities who were there. For long-time Mac fans, it's a trip down memory lane with a few surprises along the way. For new Mac users, they get an appreciation for those of us who bleed in six colors." Adds James. "The DVD goes far beyond the movie, exploring in-depth the stories and experiences that made the Macintosh what it is today" says Rob Baca, co-director of the film. "There are so many great stories to hear, we are very excited to have the opportunity to share them." "There are millions of people around the world who are just now learning about Apple through the iPhone or the iPod, and they are interested, they want to know more." Says Josh Rizzo, co-director. "We worked hard to make the film entertaining and as non-technical as possible, but it does get a little nerd-friendly from time to time." "Welcome to Macintosh is an informative and entertaining film for the computer illiterate and Mac geeks alike. From industry insiders to hard-core Mac enthusiasts to eccentric Mac owners, Welcome to Macintosh covers the spectrum of "Mac People" and shows why Apple is unique in the industry."
