the mac’s I had<\/a><\/p>\n

the original<\/a><\/p>\n

The SE was great. 2,500 Deutsche Mark, even after buying it via a student friend of mine, was allot of money. But it was a computer that you could buy books about. It was actually documented. That I had only seen like this for a Sun.<\/p>\n

The LC and Newton I bought in an impulse. I lived 400 Meters from a Mac dealer back in the day. Which there were like 5 or so in the whole god damn country. Played a little bit of Myst on it. Started to develop for the Newton. But it was so odd and different from any API I cared about that I declared it a waste or time. And money I might add.<\/p>\n

Power Macintosh I got a work. Slow like hell.<\/p>\n

Powerbook Titanium I got at work as well. My boss brought it in one day. And I was very very very happy. Then, after the while, the hinge just snapped off. Apple pretended that that would never happen. Machine got hot, but was nice otherwise. Miss it.<\/p>\n

iBook I got for my wife. Old CPU rev, real cheap. Worked great. I think she made the mistake of opening and
\nclosing it though: the backlight display failed<\/p>\n

iPod 1st Gen. Failed by now. Was ok though.<\/p>\n

PowerBook Al 12″. Nice. But hot.
\nPowerBook Al 15″. Smoothest Mac I owned. Had to leave it when I left that job. Which was a shame.<\/p>\n

iPod 3rd Gen: Broken. Those 4 buttons in the row are such a bad idea!<\/p>\n

iBook G4. Mac I bought in 1995 working on my own in the US again. (I had in Germany before 1997). Nice machine. Real nice. Would still use it, would it’s keyboard not have failed.<\/p>\n

iPod Shuffle: refurb, started to listen to podcasts on that one. Not ideal.
\niPod Nano: Nice. Refurb, which made it an awesome deal. Left the connection cable in Germany last week though. So I will probably pay alsmost as much for that then I paid for the nice.<\/p>\n

MacBook Pro: Tis ok. First Gen. Get’s hot like hell. Disabled spotlight and it helped somewhat.
\nMacBook: For the wife. Unusable with 512MB or memory. With 1.5GB I have not have heard any complaints. About the computer. (joke that is not true, but was unavoidable in a way)<\/p>\n

iPod Hifi: emberrassing. Only used it one day, scaring kids with it during Halloween. Expensive for what it is. Can not even find a tuner for it, which would make it a decent looking kitchen radio. Seing it in the store the other day I was shocked how much I had paid for it.<\/p>\n

NTX: First laser I owned. And loved. Got it as part of payment in a job back in the day. Still runs and makes ozone. Is entirely yellow by now.<\/p>\n

How odd that I can recount my life by Apple products I used \/ owned.<\/p>\n

Will I buy an iPhone? Certainly not. I am looking forward to it’s release. So that I go publish with the Interdubs-iPhone features, and since Razr prices will go down. It’s an ok phone, that works and that I am used to. If I want more I use a computer. There is no room for an intbetween. I never used a PDA or Blackberry. And UMPCs still make me laugh.<\/p>\n

My life in Apple. How weird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
