blackbook... a collector's item?

Lisas vary in value, but generally the value of stuff isn't that important because there isn't much of an enthusiast market for old computers.

Apple's made a few - the G4 Cube comes to mind, and yet none of em really are worth anything. Part of the reason is they become useless.

some day....sooome day...someone, somewhere (it'll probably start in Japan) will get it into their head(s) that they have to have old Macs and fetishize the coolest ones...the Pismos, the 12", etc. It could be 50 years from now. But I'm willing to bet it will happen.

I love my last rev BlackBook. I got it right when it came out, and it's not going anywhere for a very long time. Can't stand the new ones at all.

... The BlackBook stands out (most of the PC laptops I can see are Acers in silver/grey and an IBM in its navy blue) more so than the white MacBooks. It is iconic, with its matte black shell, its soft edges and its highly visible Apple logo.

So a collectable? Maybe. An icon? Definitely.

+1

Every time I see that glowing white on the black background, I know that is the reason why I paid extra for black.
