What got me started collecting Macs

This was my reply to Kathyrn's question, but I figured I'd add it here, too, in case others had the same question. You asked what triggered me to get into Macs and then start collecting them. Well, I guess you could say I'm part of the iPod Halo effect, in a roundabout way. Back in 2003 I was trying to view something online with my old Dell (I don't own it anymore - I shipped it off to my brother who uses it as a video/photo server. Don't worry about him, though, because I gave him an iBook G4… Continue

I won an unopened Hypercard application with manuals and I was hoping to learn to make some stacks, but now with the fires here in Monterey Co, and Big Sur where I work, I don't think I'll be able to get to that for a while. I will have to put everything on hold till the fat lady sings. I'm not even sure I'm going to have a station to go back to on Sunday. I am going to go get my iMac and my 6400 out of quarters though. I'm not going to loose those, if I can help it.

I've just begun a little basement remodel and I hope to have a Mac Museum of my own soon. I want to paint the cement floor with all the Mac OS logo designs. We'll see - it may take me awhile!

At 7:11pm on May 23rd, 2008, Kathryn said…: That is a great story, it was not the normal iPod to iTunes, to iMac progression. That's QT, to iTunes, to iPod, to iMac! That's definitely a round about.

I agree with your comparison, or description of your Mac collection as your art collection. I was just looking at the the design awards Apple just got for the iPhone and the iMac I think it was. It was on the D&AD page, the black pencil award (which I had never heard of before).

So, sounds like art to me! I do like the colored iMacs also, they are so cute. I have the graphite, and would like add a Ruby, and a Flower Power to my collection.

I'm glad your macs are running better, but sounds like the 20" iMac is going in soon. Don't touch the MacBook Air! OMG! It was beautiful, light, another work of art. It's very, very dangerous to touch!

Me, I have to stay away from the black MacBook. To me, that is one sexy machine. I hope they don't do away with the black.

At 10:47pm on May 16th, 2008, Pam said…: I love your photos! I'm especially enjoying the one of the Cube. There's a Cube for sale locally here on Craig's List and I am SO tempted!!

At 10:34pm on May 16th, 2008, Kathryn said…: Very impressive, I noticed you tend to lead towards the clean, white, soft lines. They look really displayed together in this collection.

What was the trigger that got you to go Mac in the first place, and then to become a collector? I would love to hear more. I thrilled when I find another female Mac collector.

Welcome!
