It
came as a shock to compile this list of all these computers we have
owned over the years. Check the following link to see different models sold by Apple.
|
| 1979 |
Apple
II Plus
|  | Our
first computer and probably the one with the most memories. If we
had known thirty years ago that this machine would become a
dominate force in our lives, I wonder if we would have jumped onto the
bandwagon with such enthusiasm. |
| 1983 | Apple IIe 'clone' |  | Owning a computer was no longer a novelty but a necessity. We took advantage of a 'deal' and purchased a
'clone' of the most recent Apple, called Apco. Many clones came
on the market during this period. |
| 1989 | MacPlus 4 megs of ram |  | It's
hard to believe we were enticed by these first Macs with their tiny
screens. They proved to be one of the most reliable of machines
and we soon began a love affair with the graphics which had a clarity
far surpassing anything that used a TV monitor. |
| 1989 | MacSE 2 drives |  | I
don't remember how we came to aquire this machine. Joan remembers
winning a machine at a school function and this may have been it.
Two drive meant larger programs could be loaded and we thought it
was super fast. |
| 1990 | MacClassic |  | Moving ahead... who knows why we bought this machine? The school district made a deal we couldn't refuse. |
| 1999 | PowerMac 7500 (used) |  | This
machine had a video card and great power. I paid $1100 to a
company in Ontario that revamped old computers.
It was about two years old when I received it but I was very
pleased. It had originally sold new for almost $6000. It
accepted analog video data directly from a camera. |
| 1999 | Imac G3 |  | In a two computer family this became our flashy new kitchen machine. |
| 2003 | Power Mac G4 |  | I
remember thinking "fast" when I first fired this one up. It still
serves well. Perhaps the longest running of any of our computers,
it supports the current system and software for 2008 and has RAM to
spare. |
| 2003 | Imac G5 Intel Chip |  | This was our
replacement for our Imac G3 which began to give us fits when it wouldn't run some software. It's our first 20
inch screen and has such a huge storage capacity we have yet to fill it. |
| 2006 | MacBook |  | We wanted something to take along on trips and serve us in the trailer. It connects to GPS and our cell phones. |
| 2008 | EeeZee PC (light pocket book from Acer) |  | A special purchase for a special trip. We wrote a 'blog' on this while we toured Europe. |
| 2008 | ITOUCH ipod |  | I
was facinated by the technology in this machine, and still am. It
holds a music collection and collects mail or the web in outrageous
locations. |
| 2009 | Apple TV |  | We
have accumulated thousands of digital photos and have a large library
of music. I was looking for a way to extend our computers to
other TVs and make our collections portable so they can be used in our
trailer. |
