Favorite mac.

Excluding any mac currently (or in the future) available from Apple, what is your favorite mac

Mine is the Blue and White G3s. Beautiful machines. Wonderful case design. And the 100MHz frontside makes it the oldest mac that is reasonable to spend a bunch of money on upgrading.

I don't have one yet, mainly because all of the thrifty folks like me who want the oldest (with a decent bus speed) machine available are keeping the prices up on ebay. Jerks.

I probably like the Powerbook G4 the best. I don't have one yet, and I hope by the time I do get one it is a Powerbook G5.

I like the iBook with the White/{flavor choice} design, with the handle, it was so cool.

....I dunno, the orriginal compact macs were pretty cool....but as for my favourite....hmmm....prolly the newest iMac (the one with the flat monitor) or the newer iBook (the plain white one).....although...I really do like the layout of everything on the inside of my IIcx..........................................

20th Anniversary Mac. Coolest machine ever. Wish I had $10,000 at the time!

The PowerMac G5 looks pretty nice though. Wish I wasn't po'. (Well, not quite poor, just not G5 rich!)

15 inch ti powerbook, not the al books they're really ugly by apple standards, so either the 15 inch, the cube or the MDD powermac, dont like the g5.

Okay, I'l probably get shot, but I love my machine. PM 8600/300 that had a bad mobo, so gutted and stuffed the mobo from a Umax S900 in there. G3/300 MHz w/ 784 RAM 4 WD 60GB HD's running in a RAID with an Apple stock 5x DVD and an LG - Best Buy special - CD-RW hacked so discburner/itunes work with it. Running OSX exclusivly since 10.1.2.

You can get one of the machines for around $50 and even a B&W G3 will just keep up with the right tinkering. Not to mention, try fitting 5 HDs and two CD-ROMs into a B&W or a G4

Maybe if I can find one cheap enought, I'll plop down the cash for one of those G4/800 upgrades. As is it benches around 25% faster than a stock G3.

Okay, I'm ending the bragging....

Dont buy the b&w as a hole unit on ebay it will sell for around 400 if you do buy a case and motherboard for around 99 then get a powersupply for 29.99 and use a standard pc harddrive and ram and you off

Mac Plus.

It came out in 1986 and was the first Mac to have 1 MB of RAM (expandable to 4), SCSI (mainly for hard disks), and a double-sided 800k floppy. In other words, it was the first powerful Mac. It could run anything from System 3.2 to Mac OS 7.5.5. It was discontinued in 1990 - the longest lifespan of any Mac. It was convection cooled (no fan). The vanilla-colored original model had the classic 128k Mac appearance.

I like this quaint little PPC8600 sitting next to me with my DC hooked up to it

I suppose this probably doesn't count as a Macintosh, but I've always like the Apple 2c. The BASIC environment is fun to play around with, and the disk drive makes the coolest sounds ever.

That, and the G5. I haven't got one, but I still like it.

current 12" iBook.

They are absolutely GORGEOUS and the easiest little thing to tote with you in the world. I want to marry one.

I don't know? it's a toss up between my 8500, 9600, and my new/used PowerMac G4/800 (Quicksilver)? I can't decide?
