Pre-Mac Goodness

For those of us whose tastes trend towards the foundation of Mac - the Apple, Apple ][, Apple ][+, Apple ///, Apple //e, //c, //gs, Lisa and other older machines that influenced the sublime.

Profile Information

When did you get your first Mac?: 2007, but my first mac experience was 1986, 7 years after my Apple II+

How many Macs do you own?: 3 (a shiny new/old iMac Rev B) (and a //e, 2 //GS, Atari 800(s), C64 & C128)

What's your favorite Mac of all time?: Mac Plus

How did you hear about RetroMacCast?: itunes

One of My Favorite Things....

Fox/Universal took down "One of My Favorite Things..." Bummer. It's not like a 1 minute clip of a canceled TV show would do anything but sell more disks.

Like the //gs it was killed before its time.

But I can't tell you the name of the show because that would reward Fox/Universal for being dickheads. But I can tell you that there were only 14 episodes and a movie and that "Darn" is much cooler than "This is SPARTA!"

New (Old) Toy! An Apple //c+

There it is, the new yet old Apple //c+. Aside from the obvious yellowing (almost Apple ][ beige) and a missing rubber foot, it seems to even work! The 800k 3.5" drive was a little sticky so my first boots were from 5.25" drives. But now it's working well and booting from 3.5". I haven't been able to confirm the cpu speed but that's something I'll do before getting any sleep…

Possible new/old Acquisition!

Well, if I've done all my work and Paypal hasn't cut me off like Wikileaks, I may have purchased an Apple //c+ on eBay last night.

More when/if it shows up!

Remember this is the fastest official Apple // ever made. If it works when it gets here.

Jailbreaking Demo

Now there are two sides to this issue and the Library of Congress has decided which side they are on and we already know Apple's stance, but this is gutsy!

At 8:31pm on December 23, 2007, Wholly Mindless said…: Grabbed one "what" from your facebook page? Picture? (Sorry the "comment back" logic doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense sometimes)

At 4:35am on December 24, 2007, Shinmaryuu said…: Thanks for the welcoming :)

At 5:49pm on December 29, 2007, April said…: Thanks for the friending! And the blog comment. :)

At 9:05pm on December 30, 2007, April said…: LOL - John, actually. But along with those Macs he came with a really cool 80's arcade. I can deal with an Apple Shrine if it means I can play Centipede and Ms Pacman at 2 in the morning with no quarters needed. :)

At 10:29pm on December 30, 2007, April said…: It's looking really cute so far!! In response to my "I only have one Mac" comment James said I was allowed to claim half of John's collection as mine for "putting up with him" so the Banana Jr will be in my half. So, yay! ;)
