Thirty years ago today, on January 24, 1984, Apple introduced the Macintosh. I bought my first Macintosh about a week after it was introduced, and since then I’ve owned many other Macs. Here’s a more or less complete list of the Macs I’ve owned:
- Mac 128
- Mac 512
- Mac SE/30
-
Mac IIsi
- PowerMac 6100
- PowerBook 100
- Duo 270c
- StarMax clone
- Blue & White G3
- Original iBook
- White iBook
- 12” Aluminum PowerBook
- “Yikes” G4 tower
- DTK (first Intel Mac for developers)
- Several 15″ MacBook pros
- 13” MacBook
- 27” iMac
- Mac Mini
- 2012 MacBook Air
- 13” Retina MacBook Pro
Although I was programming before the Mac, I’m not sure what I would be doing now or where I would be if the Mac didn’t exist.
