The similarities are stunning.
My man-crush is on Apple founder Steve Wozniak. I hear that Steve Jobs doesn’t like to cuddle.

Macintosh Plus
The back of this old Mac says “Macintosh Plus 1Mb.” The system profiler shows that there are 4mb installed. It is still quite a capable machine despite not having a hard drive.
I am diligently searching for the education market version entitled the “Macintosh ED.”
Macintosh Performa 200
The latest addition to the Macintosh Preservation is a Performa 200. The hardware is identical to the Classic II, only the branding is different.
Macintosh SE/30
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.
Titanium Powerbook G4
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.
Macintosh SE
Apple Discs
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
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.
Mac Lust
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.
Apple Collection
There are still about a half-dozen still in storage, but the Wall-o-Macs is shaping up quite nicely.
