I agree with LaurentB, for myself 'retro' ends with 9.2.2 capable Macs as the G4. Updating them to 10.4 is acceptable, and if there is anyone outside doing this to hers/his iMac G3 those will have really slow systems. But as time goes on, there ar...

@Peter : I start to see some limitations now with my PowerMac G5 (2x2.3GHz, 8Go RAM, Geforce 7800 GTX 512, 1To HDD). I could care less about Snow Leopard, but the film editing part of Adobe CS4 can't be installed on PPC. Same thing with Google Chr...

The Macintosh Portable prototype has only one bid, and Reserve not meet. I'm curious to see how this one will end up.

Yah the economy sure has taken a toll on collectibles, I have a few collectible items that I've been trying to sell lately (baseball cards from the 1950's) and they really have no value right now, If anything my dad would probably just give me the Apple I to hold until I get older and mabye I'll sell it in the future when they become really rare and the economy improves. Btw about the economy, have you seen Apple's success in the stock market. I can't belive there goal is at $280. Thats pretty good considering only 1 year ago they were at $200 and they've improved since the recession.

Hey James, it's Anthony a newer member to Retro Mac Cast community. Ok so I'm the person who uploaded the picture of the apple I, I noticed you and many others wanted more information on it so I decided to update the description on the photo so go check that out if you would. Also my father was wondering how much you thing an apple I circuit board with a custom case, floppy drive and some games he installed on it would go for. I know most museums use replicas which is how rare this thing is lol. Well thanks for the time -Anthony

HI James,
Thanks for the comments, at the moment I don't own any retro Macs, although I am very interested in one. Unfortunately, all of my Macs are used for my work (web development) and as good as the old ones are... the beast that is photoshop eats them for breakfast

Hey James,

Thanks for the GREAT podcast! I look forward to a stroll down memory lane every week. You guys rock!

I just added pics of my original 128k Mac and a MacPhone which you talked bout on an episode a few weeks back. I've been in the Mac biz since 1984 and I remember a lot! I have many souvenirs of the era which I will be posting to my page from time to time. The photos on my page show the MacPhone and a MacBottom hard drive from PCPC where I was a sales rep form several years.

I have a Power Mac G4 Sawtooth AGP Graphics that I have upgraded to 1 GHz and 1.25 GHz memory and 64 Mb video card. I have it attached to a vintage 2000 23" Cinema Display and some used G4 Cube speakers.
