Okay, I admit it, I like Apple Macintosh computers<\/a>. And yes I’ve been using them since about 1999 – and I do still have almost all the macs we have bought over the years, each a generation above the next. I guess all up we have eight, from the humble 512k through the mac plus and colour classic to a couple of the old iMacs and so on. And they all still work.<\/p>\n

\"Apple
\nThe 512k mac (with its half a meg of RAM) still boots up on a 400k disk using System 0.95 (yes it’s before System 1!) – the same disk also has MacWrite and MacPaint – text and graphic editors – and still has enough space for several documents – all on a 400k floppy disk. Programs were very light in those days.<\/p>\n

But some people are serious collectors and Jeremy Mehrl (aka soyburger)<\/a> has 67 macs in his basement, all neatly wired in place and fully functional.<\/p>\n

\"wall<\/a><\/p>\n

And his bar uses 30 mac classics – there’s something delightful about the repetetive design element that is very appealing<\/p>\n

Giles Turnbull of Or’Reilly caught up with Soyburger and did an email interview<\/a> with him about the collection.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to Shawn Day<\/a> of Randomosity<\/a> for pointing to the collection \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Cheers
