What Macs have you always wanted?

Non UMBP - I think they look cooler, and more professional


ps; did anyone say they wanted a 12" powerbook? Or cube ;)



psssh pm me ;) :rolleyes:
 
Just bought a couple of my wants in the last few weeks:

A PowerBook G4 12, a Clamshell iBook Tangerine and a Flower iMac :)

Would be nice to get a last edition Clamshell though.

I am quite lucky to have most of my wants, including a TAM (upgraded to a G3 500 and a spare TAM for parts) and an G4 Cube also upgraded to 1.8 G4.

Looks like you and I could have been looking at the same things on ebay! I havepicked up...

indigo clamshell and a ruby imac g3 for myself, and...

blueberry clamshell and blueberry imac DV G3 for my girlfriend!

I do fancy a tangerine ibook though. Could you let me know who you bought yours from on ebay (perhaps link to the won page?)?:):)
 
I think some don't understand the concept of "No Macs they still sell".

Of course everyone wants a tricked out Mac Pro.

I agree,howevever on the point of those 'tricked out mac pro's',asan owner of one, i'd have to say that its by far not my favourite mac i own.

For me its a tool, its value for me is placed on how much work i can get done on it. My clamshell ibook or 12" powerbook by contrast are no longer particularly useful, (although i still use both of them!), but they also have something else which stops me from even getting rid of them!:eek:

I've always wanted a Power Mac G3 All-In-One. A bunch of my teachers had them when I was growing up and they always looked cool. I actually miss the beige Macs.

It had at least 1 PCI slot in it. didn't it?
 
the macs that i want:

Mac 128K - started it all (dont have it)
Mac IIfx - most expensive one ever :) (have that one)

PowerMac G3 - when I was younger it really impressed me (dont have yet)
PowerMac G4 Cube - best design ever (have that one)

iBook G3 Lime - Incredible colour (dont have)
Mac Pro latest one - Power to the people... kind of... (too expensive so dont have it) :)

Side note - the eMate also looks cool. Hoping to get one soon
 
I have a few of the Macs that are listed.

Maybe I should consider selling one or more. :)

Anyhow, if I lived in a place where I had the space, I would have every Mac, Newtons, etc., that Apple made on display.
 
Clamshell iBook, I'd take it in pretty much any colour.

Used one for a year when I was 11 and thought it was the most beautiful computer I'd ever seen/used. I loved that thing so much. It's the reason I eventually bought an iBook :)
 
I've always wanted the early macs that I either hated or got me into the whole 'scene'. So that would be a G3 iMac, G4 iMac, 12" iBook, maybe an eMac.

But I'd never pay through the nose for something that isn't that productive anymore.
 
Using your criteria excluding presently available products, I've owned at one time or another almost all of the Macs that I've wanted to own.

A noticeable exception was a G4 iMac, which I'm still tempted to pick up just because it looks cool.

Never owned an SE either, but had two Mac Plus(s).

The Original Mac was tempting but it was under spec in storage and ram.
 
I've always wanted an iMac G4. I think they're the most beautiful computers (actually, they don't even look like a computer) ever made. :)
Now I just need money to buy one :p
 
iMac G5 - The first Mac I ever loved.
Cube - It would go great above my mini.

I already own a iMac G4, and that was on the top of my list.
 
Apple 1
Apple Lisa
Mac
20" iMac G4
12" PowerBook
MacBook Air
and a new 8 core Pro. :cool:
 
I may get rid of my 128k (see thread I just started) which I purchased new in 1984. Model M001. I turned it on after it was in storage for a few years and got the dreaded "sad face". Also have imagewriter, books, cords, disks, programmers switch.
