I first became interested in Macintosh in 1992 whilst staying with my brother. He had a Macintosh Plus, I had been using Dell laptops at the time and had just suffered my second unrecoverable hard drive failure. The Macintosh was a marvel at the time, a tiny screen but the graphics and build quality made up for this. My first Mac was a performa 5500 in 1997 - based on the original Macintosh TV of 1993. The Macintosh TV and the Performa 5500 goes down in history as two of Apple’s top dud products..... at the time though, I loved it. I upgraded to a Power Macintosh G3 300 (Blue & White) in 1999 and have upgraded avery 2-3 years ever since. I think I'm on my 12th Mac now which is a MacBook Pro retina mid 2012. Confession time: I have kept almost every one of my old Mac's with their original packaging. Then at some point I started collecting older Mac portables in their original boxes. Hoping one day to make a mini mac museum! I suppose all these facts amount to one thing; I’m somewhat of a Mac nerd. My day job is buying and selling fine and decorative antiques and painting pictures in my studio. You can see my antique junk and my paintings on my website: 3details.com
