A graphite iMac G3 displaying the About This Mac window on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. The system specs list a 500MHz PowerPC G3 processor and 512MB of SDRAM. The desktop wallpaper is a stylized map from Fallout 3, shown in shades of blue and black that glow vividly against the CRT screen. The iMac sits on a desk beside a Dell keyboard and another beige CRT monitor, with CDs stacked on the left and a dimly lit room with pink insulation and grey curtains in the background.

I like to power on my #CRT monitors every now and then. This graphite #imac #imacg3 still looks good, even if the camera made it look soft! #retromac #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #vintagemac #2000snostalgia #nostalgia #oldcomputer #retrocomputer

A pair of Macintosh Classics that have been re-finished in a thick semi-gloss pumpkin orange enamel, showing jackolantern faces on the built-in screens.

(Whomever made these was obviously not aware that drop-in replacement amber-phosphor CRT bottles are available, which would have made them look even more awesome.)

I'm not a fan of the commercial corruption of All Hallow's Eve, so these "Mac-o-lanterns" is as close to spooky as I'll ever get.

Restoration of Two Power Mac G4s! One day, I managed to snag a couple of Power Mac G4 systems from a local computer recycler/reseller, and I thought I should film my progress with cleaning them up and getting them up and running. C...

Two Apple laptops are side by side on a beige desk: on the left is a more modern M1 MacBook Air in silver, and on the right is a white iBook G4 running Mac OS X Tiger. The MacBook Air displays the macOS Sequoia desktop, with the “About This Mac” window open, showing it as a MacBook Air with an Apple M1 chip and 8GB of RAM. The iBook G4 screen also shows its system information, revealing it’s running Mac OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.2GHz PowerPC G4 processor and 1.25GB of RAM. The iBook has a vivid rose-themed wallpaper and is plugged into power, with its charging indicator glowing orange.

Behind the laptops is a large 24-inch Sun Microsystems LCD monitor, currently powered off, and a white Apple keyboard tucked partially underneath it. A Microsoft-branded mouse is visible on the right edge of the desk, and a partially obscured camera sits to the left of the MacBook Air.

I know it’s not as dramatic as it could be, but I still think the contrast of these two laptops, 14 years apart, looks like. #vintagemac #oldpc #retromac #vintageapple #ibook #ibookg4 #powerpc #powerpcmac #powerpcg4 #macbook #macbookair

So a thing happened today!

I removed leaky caps from a #MacClassic system board! This was my first attempt at removing caps from a board. Not too bad.

Dealing with C2 and C8 are going to be “fu”n. 🤣😇

Three vintage Apple Power Mac G4 towers are lined up side by side on a light wood-style vinyl floor. They are positioned near a desk with exposed computer cables underneath, and unfinished pink fiberglass insulation on the wall behind them. From left to right, the first machine is a Power Mac G4 Graphite model, featuring a translucent smoky gray front panel with vertical ribbing, a tray-loading optical drive, a circular speaker grille, and a white Apple logo near the top. A white asset sticker from an electronics recycler is affixed to the front.

Next is the Power Mac G4 Quicksilver, which has a sleeker, metallic silver faceplate with rounded edges. The front panel includes two optical drive bays and a circular speaker port. It also has a white asset label on the front from the same recycler.

The third tower is the Power Mac G4 MDD (Mirrored Drive Doors), distinguished by its mirrored drive bay cover, silver circular power button, and four small vertical ventilation slots near the bottom of the front panel. It does not have a recycler label on the front, as it has been in my collection since 2012.

All three systems share the iconic translucent polycarbonate handles and curvy aesthetic characteristic of early 2000s Apple hardware.

A dark, whispery landscape at night. The moon is in the sky, and a shooting star streaks across. Fireflies dot the canvas. On the bottom is an Apple Macintosh with a happy little face, and its monitor illuminating a cone through the night. The entire illustration gives a feeling of loneliness, but one where the lonely soul is determined none-the-less.

Some art from me, circa 2023. I have always been fascinated by the Apple Macintosh — the seamless confluence of fit, form, and function all betray the rather early era from which it was made.

Done in Procreate.
