    Just curious to see what some of the oldest Macintosh computers logging onto Macrumors are?

    I am currently logging in with a 40Mhz Quadra 840av (gotta justify my screen name) and am using iCab as my internet browser.

    While loading images is much slower then say, my G5, I am still impressed with how fast this little thing is, especially since it is 12 years old!!

    But maybe logged on to Macrumors only once in 12 months time with that Mac.

    Hehe... as soon as I saw the thread title I clicked on the link to see who would be the first to make a comment about the all caps. It gets up my nose too.

    400 MHz iMac

    My mom uses that machine daily. Still going strong.

    Oldest machine I've used to come here has to be a 100 MHz HP Server that we retired from work a year ago. Up till the end, that machine was a Windows 2000 Server domain controller, NAT router, file server for an office of ten machines, and host for our website. Crazy.

    Thanks, I guess I should have known better. The reminder dosen't bother me, I needed it! That reminds me when I point out that people at my work ask were they can get a replacement "NIC Card" for one of our managed servers.

    I always ask..

    "So you want a Network Interface Card Card ? We don't carry those."

    Well, I'm posting this from my Quadra 950 which is 13 years old.

    So were did you got your 840 from? I got my 950 from Que back in 1998.

    I log in with 4 different computers. The oldest one is just now over 4 years old, Ti PowerBook 500 MHz and it does the job just fine.

    I bought the 840 in late 98 also!

    I have used it constantly since. It will surf the web at speeds similar to my Pentium 133 laptop, and does an awesome job of working with Video and Audio still to this day.

    I only wish!!

    My SE was given to me.

    It was used in a school, and I have no access to control panels, or extensions. I also don't have any system disks this thing can read. I think it still has the older style drives.

    The only thing I can use my SE for is playing some of the games that are installed.

    Probably made in 2000, I think I bought it in 2001, just after the TiBook came out, but couldn't afford that! :eek:
    Running Panther fine, considering taking the RAM to 768 :) (from 384 - couldn't quite believe when i found out it goes to 1GB :eek: the HD is only 12Gigs!) Battery a bit sad though these days :(

    I am looking for one of those, and or an Orange (don't laugh) clamshell for doing picture dumps when doing Digital photo trips.

    I don't like lugging around my Work Dell anymore

    I'm using a PowerMac G3 Beige. It's my primary/only machine. :eek: Well, that is until the next iMac revisions. ;) I finally got the money for an iMac together and I figured if I could wait this long, I could wait a couple more months to get a revision with Tiger. :D

    Not sure I can do the editing I need on an Ipod photo, plus a larger LCD is nice.

    I currently use (a much faster then an orange Ibook) Dell D505 for my portable trips. I also tend to bop into WIFI hot zones to dump pictures on my Server.. the Ipod will not be able to do that for a bit. We also need Adobe to make a version of Photoshop that will load on the Ipod and support the native Dual processors :D .
