I had the opportunity when I graduated to use my employee discount and I purchase a PowerMac 6100. For those of you who don’t know, the 6100 was the LC version of the Powermac line. It was a think desktop and had very limited upgrade paths. I liked it, it was faster than my other […]
I chugged along with my IIsi for about a year or so. The first PowerMacs and Performas started coming out on the sales floor and the older systems started collecting dust. Once again I made a deal to help move one of them out at a great price. That day I brought home my Quadra […]
While in love with my little b&w Mac, I was also messing around at work with color systems. The LC II, the IIsi, the IIci and a Quadra 700 were some of the first system we had at the store. Eventually I ended up buying a IIsi from another co-worker and it had a 12″ […]
So with my little black and white Mac Classic, I started exploring the Macintosh. I started out with System 6.0.8 and 1MB of memory. I quickly found myself buying the memory expansion board and moving it up to 4MB. At this point I still wasn’t taking it online though. I was able to fetch some […]
My first year of college was interesting. Let’s just say I had to take a detour and learn some better study habits. But I found myself and then found out that SIU was not the school for me. In probably what was one of the best career decisions I’ve made, I decided to stay at […]

So for my 10th birthday, after all of the loving computer stuff, my parents did two things. First, they took me to see War Games. Second, they bought me a TI-99/4a computer. The TI was no Apple but it was what I had and I loved it. In fact, I had my TI for 8+ […]
Back in the 4th grade ( 1980-1981) I was introduced to the a TRS-80 in school and I was completed hooked. I went to some friends house and they had an Apple computer and it was the first time I got to see a graphic adventure. During the summer of 1981 I signed up for a […]
In about 1 month it will be the four year anniversary of passing of Steve Jobs. Steve passed away about 3 months before my wife passed. I’ve been an Apple fanatic for a very long time and I’ve decided to do a daily update from now until October 5th. Here’s to you Steve!
My wife passed away a couple of years ago at an early age from breast cancer. I kept her MBP 13″ and my daughter has been using it. She came down to me two weekends ago and was upset because the left side of the glass had cracked! She was probably carrying it and holding […]
