Mactracker - Get info on any Mac

It is a simple database of every mac ever made, and definitely the thing if you want to live out some nostalgia and do not have the access to the net, where similar online data are availabe at:

Apple History

Apple History offers some more sorting options like "time line", "family", or "processor" etc. so check this one out, too!


I just tested both and here is what I found on MacTracker:



• my first mac: Macintosh SE (thanks, brother!) salvaged from UCSB





• my first powerbook: Powerbook G3 "wallstreet", later upgraded to G4/500, 20 GB HD, 512 MB RAM, USB, FW, BT (pc-cards)





• my first powermac: Power Mac G4 "sawtooth", G4/400





• my first iPod: iPod (click wheel) "q21", 40 GB





• my next machines: ;-)




iMac 2.0 Ghz 17" (@office), 160 GB HD, 1.5 GB RAM...



and possibly another iMac 2.0 but in 20" for home (400 GB HD, 2.0 GB RAM...) in sync with the office machine, and with a nice DVB-T option for recording a tv show now and then



and if the good ol' BOOK ever gives up, I hope Steve has the Powerbook DxP4 ready ;-)




I always liked the ultra-compact design of the 12", just the tech specs and the tiny screen were major issues for me. And oh yeah, the price for this pizza box deluxe...

Now that I have adopted my old wallstreet/G4 as a simple, robust and lean travel/mail/surf/blog machine, the 12" (with new processors, in time to come) seems to be the ultimate replacement if the 8 year old hardware should ever fail.

I guess I am just not the type of guy who runs Mathematica in the airport lounge or finishes Photoshop projects on the commuter train...;-? who DOES this anyway?
