Insanely Great

Watch the program on YouTube here! In January 1984, Steve Jobs unveiled the Apple Macintosh, an “insanely great” computer “for the rest of us” that changed the world—and Apple itself. Exemplifying a (counter) culture of changemakers, the Mac brought the graphical user interface to the masses and launched new connections for computing and creativity. It […]

Today is the day. I’ve wanted an Apple Mac for about 5 years now. Today I visited a man who was selling his, and I bought it. I think it was fate. At the begining of last week I was listening…

Bit late but absolutely loved #myfirstmac, it was a 2005 PowerBook G4. Previously had custom built PC’s and this Mac blew them away. Loved the little white light that pulsed when it slept

это была не просто мощная машина,

#MyFirstMac

#MyFirstMac that I owned was the 2006 white MacBook. I used it really well until I bought an 11-inch MacBook Air.

I bought #MyFirstMac brand new in 2004: a 15" Powerbook G4, 2nd generation (Aluminum), 1.33 GHz, 512 MB RAM (later upgraded to 1 GB RAM).

I got it because my then girlfriend, now wife, had a 1st generation Powerbook G4 (Titanium) and I thought it was quite good compared to my piece of crap PC laptop.

It came with Panther (OS X 10.3) and I upgraded to both Tiger (10.4) and Leopard (10.5), as they came out. Back then, it cost $125.00 per major release to purchase a CD to upgrade.
