I’ve always been a mac fan. Since the early 90s. Schools on the Isle of Man were blessed with Mac Plus and Classics for us to get to grips with. Claris Works and Pagemaker were king. Laserwriters provided output if only a little bit slow. Graphically these machines were way ahead of their time. I began buying older Mac’s in the 00’s. Machines I couldn’t afford as a teenager. I still have my first power mac 7600 today. My blue and white G4 still acts as my fileserver.
My favourite mac has to be the colour classic for its all in one configuration and colour screen. Sadly there are some design flaws which make it limited but I still make good use. Finally is my colour one scanner. 1200×1200 dpi and true colour from the late 90s the PC just couldn’t compete. I have a desktop publishing rig consisting of a power book 3400c and a one scanner which can easily rival todays standards.
