Update: In March 2010 the story has added another chapter because I purchased a new Macintosh, MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz and screen 13.

Continuing the series on previous machines I had, I will follow for 2000 and the present. I'll skip the 8-bit machines for 32-bit, with computing resources and recreation and more interesting.
Macintosh LC II
My first Mac was a Macintosh LC II, a desktop with Motorola m68k processor and 16MB of RAM. I got this machine (1999/2000) as a donation (used) and had one flaw: she went into bootstrap but the disc did not work. After some tips from Carlos "Perigot," we open the HD and made the record start with a little push. " This desktop has worked relatively well for a while with Mac OS 8, including ethernet and TCP stack. The nerd factor of this machine was able to boot Linux in order to calculate the BogoMips , with the result 3.69. http://lowendmac.com/lc/macintosh-lc-ii.html .
iMac 266 iMac I bought a (used) in 2001, was one of those with "revolutionary design", the color tangerine. Fitted to a late PowerPC G3 @ 266 MHz Mac OS 8, which then came up to version 9. Dai was iTunes and I met her there to bug interesting: eventually the system would hang and yet iTunes still playing MP3, clearly the iTunes player lived in a particular thread of Mac OS:). With this machine I know I could install and Mac OS X, one in which the stripes on the new interface were the vanguard. One day he died because of the analog interface (the one that controlled the monitor) and sold to become a router for the Miura. http://lowendmac.com/imacs/rev-c-imac-g3-266-mhz.html
12 "iBook G3/500 (Dual USB)
My iBook (2004) was more a machine that I had before and that had to be resuscitated from the ashes so he could use, kudos once again to my local Woz, the Perigot , who managed to redo part of the board note that some "technical" committed the crime of damage. It was my first notebook, because I had a Toshiba Libretto before, but I had fun with it, because it can take you with me wherever I wanted. Equipped with a PowerPC G3 @ 500 Mhz and 256MB RAM (after 320 of RAM). He spent most of the time running Mac OS X Panther. The Rudix came with this notebook, which I keep a lot of nostalgia and respect (RIP PowerPC G3). http://lowendmac.com/pb2/12in-ibook-g3-500-mhz.html
Apple MacBook Core Duo 1.83
In December 2006 I could buy my first Mac, a MacBook every white and with the new processor from Intel, the Core Duo@1.83 GHz, which also is still my notebook and desktop. I did some upgrades on it, as put 2GB of RAM and swapped the original HD for a 60GB to 160GB, this notebook has great performance for the things I do (basically development, music and photos). I went through several versions of Mac OS X: Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard, and that the momentum is still being developed Rudix this pet. Being a Core Duo, age already falls on him, because of some limitations that force me to upgrade (Snow Leopard also reinforces that) for a 64 bit machine and supports new technologies such OpenCL with a good video card. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook_1.83.html
