Apple Evolution TimelineMy very first Apple Computer. Gone are the days of BBSes with Zterm and Zork through the trusty 2x external SCSI Caddy CD-ROM...that was finicky about termination. I felt like a 21st Century time travler with the ability to 'beam' data through Infrared and communicate with my data through handwriting. My Newton 130 will live on through the iPhone...well at least part of it. My eMate was the modern day UMPC of the 90s. It was a way for me to be mobile when I couldn't afford the insane price tag of the Powerbooks. Slaving away for a year working as an Apple Service Technician on weekends afforded me the Powerbook G3 'Pismo'. Till this day it will be the best Apple laptop I've ever owned. The midnight iMac launch was insane!! Who woulda thought people would line-up to get their hands to play with the hockey puck mouse and cry about the loss of ADB!? Many people speculated the demise of Apple when they decided to move from 608x0 Moto chips to the new IBM PowerPC platform with the introduction of the PowerMacs. They succeeded back then and they'll do it again with the Intel switch. This is really the Performa 6400/6500 series chasis. To my knowledge it was the only Mac ever to include a down firing subwoofer! Playing nanosaur was never the same from this point on!! The 12" PCI Dos Card was the holy grail of my Mac experience until the recent integration of the Intel Macs with Parallel. CMD+ENTER lives on! This beast of a machine in scale is the precursor to the old CRT eMacs. The G3 AIO (all-in-one) was available to only education channels. Dropping $700 was a tough nail to swollen on the launch of the 1st Gen 5GB iPod and I would do it all over again for an Apple product that changed the face of a market. Long live the mechanical scroll wheel! The 1st Gen G3s were weaksauce. 66Mhz bus was the wrong decision and we are all glad Apple realized the same within 3 months of launch. I think this was the product that sang "...bringing Sexy Back" to the brand. One thing for sure, it certainly invited sexy ladies to the nerd infested Mac store in Waterloo. "Who wants to work both days on the weekend?" I DO!! I so want this one... If only I could get my hands on that one! I have an iMac FlowerPower Mine Mine too, the green version Mine, the white version My first mp3 player I have this one (4GB white) I have a PowerBook 12  Edwin over @ tofslie.com created this awesome Apple product timeline. Great stuff and keep up the good designs!
