Why? They all look the same? I kid, I kid.

These aren't mine, but these are my favorites. From top to bottom, there's the IIfx, the SE30, Macbook (2.0GHz Core 2 Duo), and the NeXT Cube. The NeXT isn't exactly a Mac, but it was Steve's baby and NeXTStep was the foundation for OS X.

The Macbook and a Linux box (Fedora) are my everyday use machines. The IIfx, SE30 and Cube are the machines I drooled over, desperately wanted and could not afford back in the day. They're still almost as cool as they were back then. I mean, I love these modern 64 bit multiple core sledgehammers, but there's something special about the 68030 and a GUI that fits in a megabyte or two. And the NeXT... how many 20 year old machines still surf the web and are about as usable as any modern box?

Here's my old dusty workhorse. Dual G4 533. I so want a new machine, but this one refuses to die.

Here is a Cube that I sold recently. It had 1.2GHz processor card and upgraded HD and video card. Really nice machine, but I had to sell it because ipods work only with usb2 now.

I have only ibook, macbook, SE30 and Perfoma 460 now.

thanks for the tip Veipa

I always wanted an Apple Cube souped up in a Powerlogix aluminum case.

It never happened and now never will.

Now to find a cheap Intel Mac Mini to give a music server a try.

@computerpro3 where did you get that mac. first one ive seen with the trackball. also the price seems like a bargain.

 

[grawk]

It's a thinkpad, and he is using an illegal copy of os-x hacked to run on it. That's a trackpoint, not a trackball, too.
