I start to work with mac in 2004, that was a iMac G5. It was a bit strange, but after a while I just realized it works for me.
I bought a iBook G3 for myself in 2006.Since then I'm a machead.

I guess this is a very good time to collect old macs in Hungary, because the Apples are quiet rare over here and nobody really knows what they are still capabe of.Many people think they are only fashion items, girly bathroom computers, with a very high prices.
Now I've got a Mac classic, 2x Newton, Performa LCIII, 3x ibook G3, Bondi Blue iMac, powerbook G4+powermac G4 digital audio and an 2x iPhone 1st gen.

I'm usually buying and repairing iBook laptops (with the notorious VPU probem ) with a heatgun, and reselling them with a small profit. I have a lots of spare parts, so if anyone need something special, contact me!
My latest project was a retro apple pendrive and to paint a iBook G3 to bright green( I called it greenapple), in memoriam Mark, the geektechnique.org guy.
My next project gonna be to built a subwoofer into a macintosh classic housing and to build a G3 motherboard based doorbell.
I love your podcast!Keep going guys!

Üdv.
Sajnos csak powermac5400/180-as cuccom van.
Engem egy NTSC-s TV-tuner kártya érdekelne.
Szólj ha van.
Tisztelettel

Szia !
Jelenleg nincs külön, de van egy powermac 5400/180 amerikai tv-tuneres, de monitorhibával esetleg eladó egérrel együtt.
Olyan 26000 Ft-ért megválnék tőle!
Üdv.
Andris

P-p-poetry ! How does a Hungarian keyboard look like ?
At 9:19am on November 17, 2009, Lars (WhyOSX) said…
This is exactly what I meant, as Claes's Swedish keyboards have a different layout, the German ones we use differ to the Swiss and so on.

You wouldn't have needed to unlock your iphone if Woz had made it. (Of course you could have just unlocked it the Woz way - in the back of a limo on camera... http://gizmodo.com/5016147/woz-hacks-an-iphone-with-his-mind)
