Classic 2

After using a borrowed Mac Plus for a school project, I bought a Classic 2 for University. Fantastic! Tiny black and white screen. Me and my Uni mates produced the first issue of our long-defunct music magazine on that thing (8 MB of RAM I think), using ALDUS Pagemaker (v 2, I reckon....)

Ah, them were the days....

6100/66 with 8 megs of ram. Ram Doubler was a lifesaver back then. I remember buying an additional 8 megs of ram later on for $300 Cdn. - and that was a great deal! My dad now has this machine, it's upgraded to a G33/233. The power supply on it is currently dead though. Where can we get another?

The first Mac my dad bought was a Macintosh LC back in 1991 (4 mb ram / 40 mb hd / 12" rgb monitor)

The first Mac I used was the original Macintosh in 1984, a showroom model at the store where my dad bought the software for our Apple //c computer (i was 6 years old when we got the //c in April 1984)

and a few weeks ago I bought a second hand beige Macintosh Plus (1 mb ram / no hd) with the original macintosh team signatures...

Talking Does this count? :D

My first Mac is (not was, IS!),

Dual G4 533mhz Tower (Digital Audio) w/ CDRW, Gigabit Ethernet,
128MB RAM w/256MB Upgrade from Factory which I later added 512 MBs.
17" Apple Studio Display (CRT)
Adobe Design Collection

All that was ordered when I was throughly embarased by two PCs with a graphic job I was doing. It looked great on my PC, took it to my boss and it looked like MUD, went to look at it on my office PC and it STILL looked like MUD, went back to my PC and it looked fine... WHAT THE HECK???!!!

Got the Mac and 2 weeks later I was producing so much better work that I got a very good employment review!

Then I got laid off in September!

First computer: IBM Aptiva with a Celeron and Windows 98. Was stolen out of my dorm room at the end of my freshman year.

Second computer: iBook 500, DVD. I sold it on ebay about a month ago, in anticipation of getting a new computer for the upcomming semester.

Future computer: iMac, we'll see what happens at MWNY, but hopefully the SuperDrive one will comming my way in August.
