first mac?

[djscott]

My first Mac was an Original 128k Mac. We got it in 1984. My father was in the service and used his re-enlistment bonus to buy it. He still has it, althought the power supply burned out years ago.

We took the Mac to a place in San Jose (CA) called if I remember correctly the Mac Doctor. They installed a 512k chip making it a Fat Mac. The upgrade cost about half as much as the original machine did.

We got it with an image writer printer. That machine was the tits!

My first Apple was a G4 Powerbook, which I recieved about two weeks ago. I am finally free from the totalitarianistic rule of Windows! Wheee! By the way, what is the difference between "Apple" and "Mac"/"Macintosh" ? I'm too young to actually remember any products.

Performa 6116 CD. 66Mhz.. Glypha was the best, along with Space Invaders and all those other great games made by that Ingimur or whatever Euro dude .. he made that sweet ski game where you would get eaten by a snowmonster after a few minutes. He also did a Bert game and tons of other sweet stuff... that was back in the day of Mac OS 7.3.5

Secret About Box anyone??

Apple is the company, you can tell because its got a stock symbol(lol). Macintosh is the computer that they make.

A gorgeous 15", 80GB PowerBook I got yesterday! Totally worth the frenzied train/cab trip to Hamilton NJ's FedEx office.

Take that, Windows!
