Macs I Have I Owned
  • 512Ke. Bought used from [livejournal.com profile] bungle_lord back around 1988/89. Fly-back transformer blew on it a few years later.
  • LC II. My first brand new Mac. It even had (gasp) a colour monitor. Sold it to Mom.
  • LC 575. This was a floor model I bought when I worked at Orifice Depot. Gave it to my niece.
  • Performa 6320CD. Another floor model. Sold it to a coworker)
  • Power Mac G4 (the "yikes" version). Sold it to some guy through the Bargain Finder.
  • 15" iMac (the "iLamp" style iMac that came after the gumdrops and before the current style). Sold it to some guy through the Bargain Finder.
  • 12" iBook. Sold it to [livejournal.com profile] kermie_canada.
  • 13" MacBook. My current go-to computer.
Along the way I also picked up various used Macs that were never really used by me except that I like to play with their innards the same way I do with old PCs. These include several Colour Classics, some II's and a PowerMac 601. Most recently was [livejournal.com profile] nosarious' old G3, which I played with for a few days then donated to the Baronial Garage sale (and subsequently sold to [livejournal.com profile] conejita_diabla).

Looking back, it appears I've owned somewhere between 25 and 50 computers. I currently have seven working PCs that are going to be ditched, one way or the other, in the near future.

I think Apple owes me a rebate. ;)
