My PC friends used to say to me “But Macs aren’t expandable!”. It also had the case from the 9600 that literally unfolded to get to everything. The 390 watt power supply (others were 220 at that time) ran three hard drives as well. I would later add an EIDE card, USB/Firewire Combo Card, and a VillageTronics 3DFX Voodoo card.
I found the IBM/Hitachi Enterprise Hard drives used SCSI. In 1997 I had a computer with a Gig of RAM! Ultimately a processor daughter card would allow G3 and G4 processors to replace the 200Mhz 604. OWC tested the 128 meg cards and found the Memory Manager would handle it. Originally the 8 RAM slots would yield 512 Megs of RAM with 64 meg cards. This was also the computer that would introduce me to Other World Computing. Still mad at Microsoft and Bungie over Halo. Several 2 o’clock in the morning sessions with the kids in bed. His SE/30 couldn’t run it very well and he let me have it.

A friend had bought an external Zip drive and it came with a sample copy. This computer also introduced me to Bungie’s Marathon. Which was awesome until the “Click of death”. Filling all 4 with one meg cards gave you “near broadcast quality” video and sound. 8 ram slots, 3 PCI, and a bunch of drive bays. The first computer I bought without compromise, it was what I wanted. She thinks like that, its old, get rid of it. We moved and wife made throw them out in the trash, they were old. Loved the old red and blue mac, one had a dvd player the other one didnt, so I liked the dvd player model. They cost to much, do not want to get a used one that is a resonable price that is gonna be obsolute in a couple of years. So stuck, Want a new one but that aint gonna happen. talked to hotmail people repeatedly and no one knows why all they tell me to do is get chrome as my brower, Wanted to get updated quicktime that records video, its no longer aviable. Cant do hotmail, it wont let me check email. Turns on raelly fast, but websites dont like it now. Got a MacBook Pro now 2009 and upgraded to max memory 8 Gigs, then what really made a differnce a 1TB Solid state hard drive. Slow games became arcade fast, so it was great. Had to put more heavy duty power supply and another fan on it. Started with Apple IIe bought a accelerator IIe card, entire computer on one card, and it would go in slot 3 and then a 192 I think it was memory card that would go in the other slot three card. They had programs I could play music and just real simple to tell it to record it.So I made a few recordings that way. My Favorite, was alittle box, had 2 of them, one had strawberry color and the other one was blue. Who in their right mind could ever use up that amount of space?! (C’mon, be honest, we have all had that similar thought at one point in our computing lives.) I also maxed out the memory with OWC RAM – a whopping 8 GB! I was blown away at how much more productive I had become. A ginormous 512GB of storage space as a matter of fact. …did I mention SSD? I didn’t? Well, it had a Solid State Drive – something which I had never used before. ? I was able to do things with a mobile computer that I couldn’t have dreamed of previously.Īpple’s tagline for this model was “The fastest, most powerful MacBook Pro ever. I went straight to an Intel Core i7 with this one. This particular computer replaced a 2007 17-inch MacBook Pro I had, which was an Intel Core 2 Duo. Sure, it was heavy and caused years of back problems having been slung around my shoulder as I traveled, but oh, the real-estate! Made both discectomies worth it. I was a programmer and musician and had my eyes glued to that thing all day and didn’t want to deal with eye-fatigue. (I’m still having a hard time getting over it.) Glossy? Nope, non-glare matte finish.
I didn’t think I could ever live without it.
