Fav "old" apple computers

[pds]

yeah - hardly "old"...

I have to go with my Powerbook 145/170, just because it was the first Mac I owned. (It's still typing somewhere.)

On the list, the clamshell iBook (also because it was mine) and the Cube for reasons mentioned above.

Apple has made a bazillion different models over the years, so this is better suited to a plain ol' discussion than an actual poll. Anyway, I already posted mine in your other thread. In short: the 2000-2001 iMac DV+ (Ruby model in particular).

I wasn't a Mac enthusiast until the mid 90s, so the REAL "classic Macs" don't register much with me. When I started using Macs, Apple's hardware design was decidedly ho-hum. Clones were smacking them around on price, performance, and style. It wasn't until '98, with the introduction of the iMac, that I started to consider Apple's hardware division really worthwhile.

I loved my performa 630 as it was my first mac, but my fave would have to be the first mac i saw, i think an se30 but can't be sure, it was a small all in one black and white apple used for dtp in the publishers my Aunt worked for. I played some game where you had to drop the guy from the helicopter into the hay bale on it, i forget the name. It was the beginning of my mac cultism.

Quadra 840AV – my fave Mac of all time!

I've still got a soft spot for the Lisa which turned into the MacXL. This is the machine that got a lot of us hooked on Mac computing in the early '80's. So much so, I think I can say that I have never typed a DOS command to do anything in 25 years of daily use of a computer

I was turned by a Mac Plus. By several, actually. They had them at the school I went to at the time. Hm. Thinking about those days, I had several "favourite" Macs over time. Loved my PowerBook 150, the 180 I was using for a couple of weeks, even the 180c, although it didn't run long on battery, loved my Performa 630... Well, the PB 180 would still have been my favourite Mac ever. Although I never owned one without a "c" in the name.

ya, your missing all the classic old macs, the real old macs. in your list, short of the 1st powerbook, they are just yesterday's model, not old macs. mine has to be my quadra 800. it was really my 1st mac. spent $25 to get it at an university surplus in fall of 99. i loved it, and it served me faithfully until i got a ppc 7500 two years later. now i miss my 68040
