30 Years of Mac - Happy Birthday Macintosh!

[Iggy]

Since I use Macs, my opinions on this should strike some as odd, but I never really cared for the Macintosh.
The early models were a fabulous waste of a great processor.
I use some of the PPC models to run MorphOS.
But even though I have OSX on a couple of machines, when I want a mainstream OS I switch to a Windows platform.

Jobs' pet project never really impressed me.
A collection of borrowed and stolen ideas slickly marketed at higher than reasonable prices.
If you were dumb enough to fall for it, that's your problem.

Yes!! happy birthday our beloved mac from this lovely forum!!... just ironic.

Thats a joke? Next step on this thread is to explain how superior the mac is than the amiga.

Easy, it has to be one of the few models that are capable of running MorphOS.
Load that, presto, better than Amiga.

@iggy

Then you are the cheerleader of a computer running an amiga-like OS, not a mac like the hipsters know it... and this thread are from the last 30 years, this old macs compared to amiga are crap

You are not telling me anything I did not know when they were current.
When Macs were 68K based, my company was selling multi-user, multi-tasking 68K based hardware.
Like I said, great waste of a good processor.
Look how long the went without a CLI.

Congrats Xerox.

Yes, kudos to the Palo Alto Research Center and all they gave us.

Congratulation for loss your virginity with a mac

Are any kind of moderation on this forum? is full of stupid threads... really.

Nope, never touched a Mac until I bought my Quicksilver in advance of its support under MorphOS.

The first computer I used was a Wang 2200.
The first personal computer I used was a SWTPC 6800 based system.
From there Tandy Color Computers and Amigas.
In fact, I never owned a PC until 32 bit graphics cards became available and the PCI bus was introduced.

I still prefer Motorola based hardware, but you can keep the vast majority of Apple's production.
