My Apple II+ had the shit key mod that hooked a wire from the keyboard
into the game controller plug so I could actually type upper and lower
case. I also had discovered $C030 was the address of the speaker to make
it click. Do that often enough and you get a tone. Turned out $C020 was
the "cassette port" jack on the back of the machine. So if I search
through the binary code of games and changed the C030s to C020s I could
run sound to the jack and run that to my sound system. Sooo much better
sounding.

My first computer was an Apple 2E with the upgraded 128K memory, two 180 K
floppy drives, Apple Cat 300/1200 baud modem, applied engineering clock card
(because you needed a separate clock to tell time and provide accurate
clocking), z80 CPM emulator card, several serial ports which were each a card
and a Disk drive controller card. Also had a 40 megabyte hard disk (cider
drive) and a Midi interface for controlling keyboards. Whole shooting match
got me close to 7 grand. I was about 11 or 12 at the time, took summer jobs
and worked after school to save up and buy the hardware. The processor was all
of 0.996 MHz, 8 bit and I had a special card just to display 80 columns per
screen instead of 40. The screen output was composite video.:). That doesn’t
even compare to the processor and hardware that control the light bar on the
new MacBooks let alone the MacBooks themselves. Learned a whole hell of a lot
about electronics then though and used that same setup for almost 9 years.
Funny how distant that seems now and how far we’ve engineered things sense.

lol I never spent that much, but you're right, computers back in the early

bought a Toshiba laptop that had a 20 mb hard drive. Nowadays, that's just
laughable.

The regular iMac line seems to have had a refresh as well. I customized one
and came in under 5 grand with 64 GB of ram and a TB of SSD. They still start
at 1099 or so for the basic configurations though.

OK, let me re-state: No way will I spend $10,000 on a Mac! :) As someone else

those financial resources and the need for such a high end machine, then maybe.
But neither is the case for me. $10,000 for a personal computer is ridiculous.

No way would I spend 10 Grand on a Mac book Pro. Only way I would buy that if I
had some type of major video production company. At least you know it should be
future proof bro.

Scott, your crazy dude,
Yeah I'd like one but still I'm not that crazy.
When the pricing comes out check out the apple.co.nz site and price
the fully spec'd iMac Pro.
Yor 10K dollars is nothing compared to our pricing.

I must apologise for giving you the wrong information. My MacMini
does not have a Mac Safe. I got confused as my I Mac does. I have
plugged that MacMini in more than two years ago and have not really
unplugged it much so I forgot.

Hello,
That’s interesting. My 2012 model has a figure of 8 lead. i.e. It
is fed 240V whereas, I’m guessing the voltage is dropped
externally. Or does the magsafe deliver mains voltage?
As you suggest the Mini is a great little machine.

Hi Scott.
A few months ago I went to the Apple store with my father as I
convinced him to purchase the 7 Plus I phone which he did.
After that was done, I went to look at the most expensive Apple
watch which i liked but wasn't going to spend that kind of money
to get the Apple watch but may get an apple watch next time if
the third Gen is better than the second Gen.
Anyway, I went to have a look at the Macbook Air with the touch
bar on it. I thought it was a bit crap as I knew it wouldn't
have the Mac Safe plug on it. I love my I Mac and MacMini as
both have the Mac Safe plug. I hate it that Apple seem to be
getting rid of their Macsafe stuff. I don't know when I will
purchase another Apple computer as both my computers are going
strong and as long as I can run the latest software on them then
it's just fine for me. However, one of these days we won't be
able to run the latest software so then it will be time to buy
another IMac and MacMini as I love both set ups! When ever I do
that, I'll max out the memory and Gig of ram because I will be able to!

I hate to say this about apple but I’m not going to give
someone a pass where it’s not deserved either. I’ve been using
a 2016 latest model laptop with the touch bar and finger print
censor now for several weeks and I need to say, I hate it.
That’s something I thought I wouldn’t say but the fact is I do.
Reasons are as follows.
The touch bar triggers when your fingers are on the row of
physical keys below. The finger print censor also triggers
Siri and also fires when you touch the keys below. You also
end up starting Siri when you want to start or stop voice over.
The light bar doesn’t work the same in virtual machines as it
does on the Mac proper.
The ports are a joke. Everything is USB-C which renders all
my previous adapters and connectors useless. The power cable
now uses USB-C instead of mag safe (which I like better). The
lightning ports on all the phones and other devices feel just
like USB-C with a slight size difference so I’m for ever using
the wrong cable on the wrong port. All your included cables
with your devices are USB
3.0 the older standard and don’t fit in the USB-C port, you can
get adapters but they aren’t included.
While I like the lightning port for headphones now instead of
3.5 MM jack, the new laptop doesn’t include a lightning port so
you have to use different headphones.
The things I do like are the battery life is very good, it’s
very fast and the new processors do very well running virtual images.
But it’s just not fun to use. My mid 2015 model is so much
more enjoyable to type on and all my cables work. Apple your
laptops this year are a miss in my opinion. I won’t go back to
windows but I bet I could be convinced to try chrome books or something else.
