i would like to see a video on "the buzz" :)

@Hawkfire44 : Man, I really should have recorded the sound of "the buzz". Dumb of me not to... That hideous screech was really a piece of Apple history! (One Apple wants to forget.)

In 2014, they should release a 30th Anniversary Macintosh that looks exactly like the original Macintosh, and with a CRT, but with the new hardware, and different labeling.

[MactivistDotCom]

Some sort of homage to the original would be nice! Though I get the impression that Jobs isn't a big fan of such "anniversary" models; one of his first acts upon returning to Apple was to get rid of all the TAMs and focus on core products.

dang, those are rare! I'm looking for an old Performa 630 (one that I used to have) so I can use my old floppy games again. Those machines were solid.

@VaderNES That will be its 40th anniversary, though.

[SuperHOTrains]

how about the crash sound

[douchebagandpie]

@thedarkone2134 probably.

[thedarkone2134]

@douchebagandpie Maybe now, but compared to other computers on the market then this thing was awesome in terms of looks.

[douchebagandpie]

that looks really ugly, but that's just me.

@MactivistDotCom 3D ipad is actually conceptual now, uses layered LCD screens really cool rendering was done.

intel macs are fake macs.... PPC FTW

[THEtechknight]

that machine will run up to 10.2 with some help. 10.3 if the kernel is recompiled.

Now that was a mac ahead of it's time! It would be very stylish today!
