Mac History

Everyone has been posting their history of Macs they’ve owned – who am I not to participate. I had access to few while I was growing up:

  • 128k Macintosh (1984)
  • Mac Plus
  • Mac II

This is the list, to the best of my recollection, of machines I’ve owned myself:

  • Mac LC (1993-1996)
  • PowerCenter 132 (1996-2000)
  • PowerBook 190 (1997)
  • PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet, 1998)
  • PowerMac G4 (2000)
  • PowerBook G4 15″ Ti (2001 x2)
  • PowerBook G4 17″ (2004)
  • PowerMac G5 (2005)
  • MacBook (black) (2006)
  • MacBook Air 13″ 1st gen (2008)
  • Mac Pro (x2, 2007 & 2008)
  • MacBook Pro 17″ (2009)
  • MacBook Air 13″ 2nd gen
  • MacBook Air 11″ (2010)
  • MacBook Air 13″ (2011)
  • MacBook Pro 15″ Retina (2012)

For a while there I was maintaining multiple machines (as many as 4 at one point – Mac Pro at home, Mac Pro at work, 11″ Air and 17″ MacBook Pro); I’ve since decided this is madness and am pretty happy with just my 15″ Pro (I just wish it were lighter).
