llegaron las primeras 𝘔𝘢𝘤 con 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹 Core Duo, incluyendo la MacBook Pro de 15 pulgadas.

Años después, 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 repetiría la jugada con 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 Silicon. Pero la transición a 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹 fue el puente que permitió llegar ahí: una demostración de que el 𝘔𝘢𝘤 podía cambiar de arquitectura sin perder su identidad.

pero 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 enfrentaba un problema técnico serio: el roadmap ya no permitía construir las computadoras portátiles, delgadas y eficientes que Jobs imaginaba para el futuro.

El cambio fue arriesgado, pero estratégico. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹 ofrecía mejor rendimiento por watt, una ruta más clara para laptops y la posibilidad de llevar al 𝘔𝘢𝘤 hacia una nueva etapa.

En enero de 2006...

🍎 El día que 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 dejó atrás 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙋𝘾 y eligió 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹

𝖤𝗅 6 𝖽𝖾 𝗃𝗎𝗇𝗂𝗈 𝖽𝖾 2005, durante la WWDC en San Francisco, Steve Jobs anunció una de las transiciones más importantes en la historia del 𝘔𝘢𝘤: 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 abandonaría los procesadores 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙋𝘾 para adoptar chips 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹.

No fue una decisión menor. 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙋𝘾 había definido a las 𝘔𝘢𝘤 durante más de una década...

It's here - the classic Mac app I've always wanted. Introducing MacDown 1.0.0, the Markdown-aware text editor for System 6 and 7.

HQX and BIN files are available for your classic Macs and emulators.

I use it daily on my Mac Plus to work in the Obsidian vault that's shared from my MacBook - work tasks, meeting notes, and so on.

After some searching I found one of my old #iPods. The 3rd gen iPod nano. Could not find my older 4th gen iPod (ClickWheel).

I could load new music from my Mac Studio with MacOS Tahoe directly to the iPod with the #apple music app and then manage the library on #iTunes on #OSX 10.5 Leopard on my 12" #Powerbook G4

With a bad battery and even worse display I loaded up the #iPod with some #PowerMetal and headed out on a sunday walk.

Just happen to see this:

"MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS"

Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually.

I really hate recapping Color Classic / LC575 analog boards. Maybe folks would like to point and laugh at my misery? Saturday noon EDT. #vintagemac https://youtube.com/live/ufVgRQFKsYw?feature=share

Repaired this iMac from 2000! Had to take the speakers apart and replace the chemically degrading foam. Left speaker works great, right speaker still a bit of buzz sometimes. CD-ROM had to be disassembled, cleaned and repaired as well. Got it 100% working now! Diablo II is still fun!

Additionally I also have a cheapo SSD inside via a IDE to SATA adapter. It does make it blink question mark mac for about 10 seconds before it finds and boots but other than CD-ROM and CRT whine its a totally silent iMac.

Gonna do a little stream Thursday afternoon at 3:00 EDT to try overclocking a Newer Tech G3 upgrade for the Power Mac 6100. 214MHz just doesn't feel like enough. #vintagemac https://youtube.com/live/VvWmLiQZJ7E?feature=share
