The most fragile of the toaster Macs in the Macintosh Preservation. The capacitors on the logic board of the Macintosh SE/30 need to be replaced. I would like to get it renovated. It is a powerhorse that outperforms the other toaster Macs.
Originally a broken Powerbook G4 purchased from a Craigslist listing for $15. A $6 cable and a few hours of tenacity brought this titanium beauty back to life. I just can’t stand letting one of these beauties of industrial design be relegated to the trash heap.
I’m hoping that it finds a new home through eBay. My Macintosh collection focuses on computers with the retro rainbow-colored Apple logo.
The PowerPC is dead. Long live PowerPC.
Software restore discs from the bygone G4 PowerPC Macintosh era. This software was for iBooks, iMacs, and Power Macintosh units. I was tasked with liquidating these discs. It is something I will regret to my very end of days.
Now that the entire Apple product line is Intel-based, PowerPC support has been summarily dropped from OS X. The PowerPC is dead. Long live PowerPC.
Retro Challenge 2009 is in full swing and I totally forgot to mention anything! I am participating by creating a blog with photos from my favorite 0.02 megapixel camera, the Game Boy Camera! Check out the retro goodness already in progress.
I spotted this Performa 6200CD while thrifting. It even has the Apple branded monitor. Unfortunately it is $60. Sigh… I hate it when thrift stores over price certain commodities. I’ll have to wait for a sale.
There are still about a half-dozen still in storage, but the Wall-o-Macs is shaping up quite nicely.
If you clicked on the RetroMacCast link in episode 47 then I bid you welcome. Yes, that is my humble Apple IIgs featured. If you have any questions about it you can contact me via e-mail address kenfager(at)gmail.com. Regular RMC listeners may remember a previous photo that was featured on their show.
If you are a regular reader, I highly recommend RetroMacCast. James and John do a fantastic job every week. Even though they are amateurs their production values would have any layman fooled. Check them out.
