Computer of the Day

So, today, I'm going to feature a computer. How about the original iMac? Released in 1998, the iMac signaled a new era for Apple, one defined by design, consumer usability, and, well, Steve Jobs. As Job's first project coming back on as head of Apple, the iMac broke many rules of computing of the late 90's. It wasn't beige, it wasn't square, it wasn't just for nerds, and had no floppy drive.


The iMac had a 233Mhz G3 processor, a max of 512 RAM, a restyled USB keyboard and mouse, and the first non-beige, grey, black, or white computer in computer history. Apple had a series of ads that are fun to watch: 



You can find a whole ton of other ones, too. 

Stay tuned until next week when we feature the Macintosh Plus!

The Computers I Took Apart Today

Well, yesterday, I replaced the top case in a 15" Unibody Macbook Pro. Not an easy job, since you have to take everything out of the computer, then put it back in. It didn't help that there was a stripped screw on the display hinge. Today, I just took apart a Powerbook G4 with a bad PRAM battery. Anyways, IDK if that was interesting to anyone.. Oh, wait, no one's following this. Oh well, good night.

Too Many iBooks

Well, no one's following this blog, anyways, but I'm still going to post. Today, there are too many iBooks in my room. One of them is in pieces all over my desk. Anyways, school has started, so what little time I had left for extra stuff (Like blogging, Project 365) just went bye bye. Good night.
