Which Mac model is your favorite?

This isn't exactly relating with "retro" more with "a little older"

Sorry if I'm flooding your inbox, but I deleted the wrong post after fixing a bad link. My apologies. Even archive.org (www.apple.com/music/" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20030801072141/www.apple.com/music/) redirects to an old iTun...

I have a very similar book, a 1 GHz TItanium. Other World Computing still sells 2.5" IDE hard drives, up to a 320 GB model. I bought a 250 GB early this year. I'm trying a similar setup on a PowerBook 1400, though. Does the PA-CF25 support waking...

I did see the video, and I know that I can get a 133 MHz processor for $10 from here: http://www.powerbookguy.com/xcart/catalog/Processors-price0-p-1-c-799.html Didn't think about eBay for CF cards, though. Thanks for the tip.

http://retromaccast.ning.com/photo/ouch-180mhz-for-pb-1400 There is an address for cheap and very expensive 1400 upgrades with the photo. You'll better watch the eBay. And I've been overbid on a 4GB card just a few minutes ago ! And watch this: ht...

About a week ago, I acquired a used PowerBook 1400c/117. It had a good load of software: ClarisWorks 4.0, MS Office 98, Adobe Illustrator 6 and 7, and Photoshop 4.0 running under OS 7.5.3. As far as hardware goes, it is adequate, with a 117 MHz 60...

Ouch. It was a pain to travel the 72 miles to South Coast Plaza, but I can't imagine over 200. You have my sympathy.

It must be nice to be able to choose from among a bunch of Apple Stores. Alas, our nearest one is 207 miles away in Birmingham Alabama. I'm jealous!

New Mac: PB 1400c

About a week ago, I acquired a used PowerBook 1400c/117. It had a good load of software: ClarisWorks 4.0, MS Office 98, Adobe Illustrator 6 and 7, and Photoshop 4.0 running under OS 7.5.3. As far as hardware goes, it is adequate, with a 117 MHz 603e, 32 MB of RAM, a 1 GB hard drive (about 350 MB free; with this software, there is no way I am wiping it clean), an active matrix display, a floppy bay and an 8x CD-ROM bay, missing the front door. It is still usable if not painfully slow, but doesn't… Continue

Temecula Apple Store opened today

I thought it might be interesting to give my coverage of the grand opening of the Apple Store in the Promenade mall in Temecula.

They opened today at 10 AM PDT, so we decided to get in line at about 8:30 AM after having breakfast at McDonalds around 7:45. The weather was reasonably nice around here: it was cloudless and 75°F with 41% humidity, though they supplied black umbrellas and rather expensive Glaceau water around 9 AM. My party got to the Store early enough to be one of the first to be… Continue
