Running Parallels
The similarities are stunning.
My man-crush is on Apple founder Steve Wozniak. I hear that Steve Jobs doesn’t like to cuddle.
1st Generation iPod
A first generation iPod donated to my collection by Kaela’s father. Holds 5gb of music and is Mac compatible only. Reviewers originally panned the iPod claiming that users would not be able to manage that much music, that $500 was too much and the music industry would never offer digital music.
Oh how they were wrong. Apple is now the leading digital music distributor.
Apple IIe Workstation Card
This 1984 Apple IIe has a workstation card installed. When turned on it looks for an Appleshare Server on the network, in this case a 1991 Apple Classic.
AppleShare Server 3.0 Setup
1991 Apple Classic acting as a server for a 1988 Apple IIgs. The IIgs has no internal hard drive. Instead it looks on the network for an Appleshare server, which is the Apple Classic.
The Classic is running System 7.0.1 and Appleshare 3.0. The IIgs is booting GS/OS 6.0.1.
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.

The Tablet
