Apple III Plus

I'm not sure where I got this one from, but this, along with the Lisa, is one of my favorite computers in my collection. It was quite advanced at time time with a powerful - but poorly named - OS, (Sophisticated Operating System, or SOS), but it wasn't horribly successful in the marketplace - although I gather that "failure" is too strong a word. It seems to have been somewhat forgotten, but I like the case design and, as mentioned, the operating system.

Apple Fat Mac

The original brown toaster. 512 KB (not MB) of RAM, 512x384 1-bit (black or white) graphics, no hard disk, and a steal at just $2200 or so. The last Mac I owned until 2003.

Apple Power Macintosh G3 450Mhz (Blue & White)

Resetting G3 PMU ? Check out Mac Users Guide for more how-to information. Based on the Yosemite architecture featuring a 450 MHz PowerPC 750 G3 processor the Apple Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) has 1 MB of backside cache, arrives with 128 MB of RAM, a 32X CD-ROM drive and an ATI Rage 128 GL graphics card. This was the first design that utilized the “fold down door” enclosure that revolutionized the way we interact with our Mac desktops. It is extremely easy to upgrade and introduced Firewire and included both USB and ADB port connectors.

Newton MessagePad 110 (14 years old and still working) and iPhone

I guess there was no Y2K problem with the Newton. Notice the date and event I scheduled here (view large). 14 years old and this thing still works! Note size compared to the iPhone. I should have taken a shot of the Newton's modem. The modem alone is much larger than the iPhone.
