Apple

I have a lot of vintage Apple hardware. My addiction to obsolete Macs started with my Clamshell iBook in 2006, and I dove into vintage hardware in earnest after happening across a Classic II in a dumpster outside an e-recycler in Indiana.

I've done some cool stuff with my Macs. My clamshell iBook and my 12“ PowerBook G4 both have upgraded LCDs - my G4 has a swank SXGA+ display, and OS X looks amazing on it. It's harder than it used to be to use obsolete hardware and software, especially with how the Internet has become dependent on SSL and JavaScript, two things that are very client-dependent.

I still use my old Macs for fun, though!
