(It will probably surprise no one who knows me at all that I own one of everything mentioned above-except the Mac TV, because Jeff won't sell me his. Yet.ĭo you need to know what resolution the QuickTake 200 supported? Can you not recall how much memory a PowerBook Duo 2300c can hold? Just how heavy is a Newton MessagePad 2000? Does a LaserWriter IIg really draw 900 watts of power? How many FireWire ports are there on a slot-load Xserve? What does the startup chime for a Mac TV sound like? How many keys are on an Apple Adjustable Keyboard? Mactracker knows the answers to these questions and more. Ironically, the PowerCD accompanying this post is not in the database. Mactracker is essentially a database of Apple hardware dating from the 128K Mac to the Santa Rosa-based MacBooks (as of v5), including system specs, supported OS versions, and introduction/discontinuation dates. For people like me, Ian Page has updated his tremendous Mactracker application to version 5, bringing updates to various recent Mac / iPod models along with iCal support for tracking warranty coverage information and better Leopard compatibility. This is an aura which I have admittedly done precious little to dispel, and this post probably won't help things in that regard. I have a certain.reputation around Ars as a sort of black hole for old, decrepit Apple hardware.
