The Apple junk in my basement. Saturday / 07.07.07 / 03:50AM / Joe
I found this cool mega-chart of Apple products via Fake Steve, so I did what any self-respecting Apple fan would do: I downsized the image and turned it into a personal checklist.
I initially was only going to check machines I own, but I extended the circle to include my sister and my dad's equipment. And I marked off the ones I've had on my desk at work as well. I'd like to include my uncle's history of machines or even my buddy Matt's, but then the image would be nothing but checkmarks.
I had to take some liberties with some check assignments, since the chart is more of a form evolution than a legitimate make-and-model progression. For example, my 7600 is more or less represented by the style of the 6100 shown, but not really.
Every single one of those red checks is currently in my basement, thankyouverymuch, except for the iPods and the actual working Macs, our iMac and iBook. I've set up kind of a workshop down there (WiFi reaches!), where I intend to go through each machine, pull out the HD, and then donate the rest to whatever reclamation program will take them. Although I'll probably keep the 7600, the Performa, and the Classic, just for nostalgic reasons.
I also found EVEN MORE damn floppies during the move (somehow stored separately from the hundred I threw away pre-move). So there's another weekend project. |
