October 2011- One heck of an Apple month for me

The month of October 2011 has drained me. Apple on my mind about everyday one way or another.

 

Our world got rocked two weeks ago when Steve died. While it was obvious he was very sick, it caught me off guard. The day he died I was playing tennis and when I was driving home I checked my phone. My…

Auctions & Apple Director Chairs

I tried to add another vintage Apple’s Director Chair to my collection today, but I let it get away. It was an eBay auction.

Buying off of eBay can be frustrating. I don’t mind the auction format- no, I’m an auctioneer by profession…

Collectible Fund Re-allocation, AKA starting a Mac Collection

My head is swimming. I just officially started me a vintage Mac collection today. Kinda out of the blue. Was struggling with the impulse to start up buying old Mac's and then framed the decision in investment terminology and that was all I needed to justify it.


Been a Mac fan for a while and still have my Mac Powerbook 5300 from when i bought it new in 1993 and have grabbed a few things over the years but only today made the BUY decision. You see besides into tech toys and…

http://68kmla.org/forums is quite busy.
ppcmla.com much less so, shame really.

http://www.old-computers.com can be useful.

I'm currently investigating http://vintagecomputerclub.org.uk/. £10 joining fee for no conceivable benefits and little activity makes me very wary though.

How about January 8th? We won't be doing an episode this week with the holiday and all.

Hey Scott!  Thanks for the friend invite!!  In response to your question, I bought the lle used.  A co-worker of mine had an uncle that had it boxed up in his garage.  It had the lle, a monitor, a printer, and what I think is an early modem.  I do need to get it out of the box, and take some pictures to post here.  Right now it's setting in my garage!  I'm not sure if it will run though, I think some pieces inside are bent.  I'll try to get pics soon!

btw, I noticed in one of your pics of an iPad, there was a SLR Camera setting next to it.  Are you a photographer?  I love photography, and have been trying to get into it professionally for several years!

That's cool!  I think everyone can be a photographer, just depends on what type of photography you like to take!  I really liked the photos of your new Apple //c.  I think you don't give yourself enough credit, but then again so do I!

 

I take more pictures with my iPhone 3G than I thought I would ever take with a camera phone.  I'd love to get my hands on an iPhone 4, but wondering if I should wait the extra 3-4 months after my contract is up to see if Apple announces the iPhone 4.2/4G??

 

I'm a Canon guy, so I was happy to see your SLR was a Canon!!  I own a DIgital Rebel XSi, and 4 film Canon SLR's.  They are (newest to oldest): Elan 7e, T-90, New F-1 (80's model), & AE-1.  I'd love to get into pro photography, and have been trying off & on for several years now.

Congrats on your new addition, the Air. I saw the video, what a kick that had to have been. Your Apple IIc looks like an awesome score too.

I just listened to your interview on episode 188.  Very good interview Scott!  I don't envy the willpower you must have to not open that box, and start playing with that //c!  Enjoy it!!

>> Grabbed me an iGo iMac desk off eBay, just can't decide which one to put on it- the G4 or G5...

iMac G4 all the way! So much more character!
