A classic

[goodolmike]

It's Saturday and I have a few hours to kill, so I busted out my old Clamshell iBook.

This one was my first Mac. I loved it like a baby. It was also the first laptop that I really worked on. I upgraded the hard drive, the wireless card and the ram. I even overclocked it to 400mhz. I later moved on to white iBooks, and replacing logic boards, but that got... expensive...

Tangerine, baby. I love and miss Apple's wacky, colorful designs. I mean, I get it; no one wants to spend $2000 on something that looks like a teenage girl's makeup kit. But still, it's fun.

I'm thinking about using this badboy to stream music to my living room. It's just crazy enough to work!

I thought they were brilliant (literally and figuratively)

I almost made the switch. I always wanted the purple one. True the lines of Apple products have always been wonderful and stylish, but the garish colours and pseudo-retro curves of the iMacs were really outstanding.

When the cublet and I were thinking about opening a shop, the plan was to get old iMacs (my hope was just purple and green ones) to refurbish and use as point-of-sale computers.

That's a rad idea!
