Mac laptops—through the ages.

These are the Mac laptops I never sold or gave away. Three are in current use. One is a backup. The others have occasionally saved the day by accessing ancient files. Once, not too long ago, I actually had to dig out a SCSI adaptor to attach an old Zip drive to one.

Clockwise from top left:

…¢ MacBookPro. 2.8 GHz, 500 GB hard drive. My current machine.

…¢ PowerBook G4. 1.67 GHz, 100 GB HD.

…¢ PowerBook G3 500. 500 MHz, 12 GB HD.

…¢ PowerBook 180c. (That’s “c” for color!) 33 MHz, 80 MB HD.

…¢ Macintosh Portable. Almost 16 pounds! 16 MHz, 40 MB HD.

…¢ Macintosh PowerBook 3400. 180 MHz, 3 GB HD

…¢ PowerBook 190. 66 MHz, 500 MB HD

…¢ PowerBook G4. 667 MHz (The original Titanium).

…¢ MacBookPro. 2.6 GHz. Bob’s current machine.

…¢ MacBook Air. 1.86 GHz. Also Bob’s.

I’ve had many other Macs. I wish I still had my first, a 128k desktop with no hard drive, one 400k floppy drive. That was in 1985. I lived in the Bahamas then, and did actual, professional “desktop publishing.”
