This article has suddenly made me nostalgic: http://lowendmac.com/musings/myportable.shtml
Interestingly enough, these 12-year-old computers are still usable. All of them can run several Mac OS up to 10.4.11 (not to mention all the Linux distros still available for them), browse the Internet, play and burn CDs and DVDs, and do real work. Not at an amazing speed, mind you --but that was easily foreseeable. The amazing, the mind- blowing thing is that they still can, and do. I wonder what we will think, twelve years from now, of the Core i7 machines of today, and how they will compare to these dependable workhorses.
