I had a Mac 128K (very) briefly in 1985, and an LC in 1991, but I went to the Mac - for good - in 1999 with the release of the Blue & White PowerMac G3. That was the pro Mac of the time, released soon after the Bondi Blue iMac made its debut. And I went there because Mac OS X was on the way. (I was a long-time NEXTSTEP fan at the time.)

B&W PowerMac G3 400, Quicksilver PowerMac G4 dual 800, PowerMac G5 dual 2.5 liquid cooled, and MacPro1,1 dual Xeon --- it was pro Macs for me over the years until they became aimed at a higher tier of u$er.

I am a Mac Studio user today, but I will always have very fond memories of those lovely and powerful pro Mac towers.

Pour one out for @siracusa tonight.

@blakespot that screen is great! Love the aspect ratio
Show threadBlake Patterson1d ago

@scott It is the best screen I have ever used. It is the LG DualUp. It has been discontinued in the last year, sadly.

Just LAST NIGHT after elaborate eBay monitoring I setup, I purchased a used, flawless unit with just 400 hours usage -- as a backup for when this one dies!

I am so happy to have secured one! I always meant to grab a spare before it got EOLed, but I waited too long.

Most people don't want that aspect ratio, so I assumed it would not be a long-selling unit. And it's very complex, the size of glass manufacturers can and will use for displays -- this is a rare display. I use it rotated so I am using the 28 inch as 18:16 ( = 9:8 = 4.5:4 --- which is almost square).

I wrote about the display, here:

@blakespot I'm planning to get the Studio in a couple years when my Windows laptop stops getting feature updates. Already have three 24 inch displays I will repurpose and a Apple Pro keyboard I found in a dump.
