13 Years of Macs

Here's my MacLife:

- Performa 750 - '95
- Mac Classic II - '97
- Power Mac 6500 - '98
- PowerBook 165c - '98
- Powerbook Wall Street - '00
- Powerbook Pismo - '02
miserable hiatus in PC world
- MacBook Pro - '07
- MacBook - '08

The MacBook is my favorite so far, for its combination of power, size and overall aesthetics--neck-and-neck with the Mac Classic II. While there's no comparison in the power and speed department (the MacBook is a 2.4 GHz dual core processor with 4 GB RAM and a 250-GB hard drive, and the Mac Classic II was 16 Mhz with 4 MB of RAM, a 20MB hard drive and a monochrome 8-inch screen), but the Classic II was functional, portable and a great conversation piece. Isn't that why we buy Macs to begin with?
