24 Jan 2004- Twenty years ago our beloved Macintosh was released onto the world.14 Mar 2004- Ten years ago the first PowerPC based Macs were introduced. This signaled an end of an era as the Macintosh moved to Power platform.
I would like for us to do something in honor of these dates. I know that this is kind of early but I figured some lead time would be good. In-order to have some time to do some brain storming.
My self I plan on viewing the Apple ad from the 84 Superbowl during the 04 Superbowl.

If, on Jan 24th, we all booted up all our 68k machines and went to a particular website, then we could fool the site's server statistics into thinking that 68k machines were dominant on the internet again.G4From128k by Day: Mild-Mannered Engineer and Trapeze(tm) Artist

I will do what I do every day - use my iMac and enjoy it's lucious beauty Apart from that Imight fire up my Mac Plus (the nearest thing I have to a 128) and my 840av (the pinicle of 68k engineering) and take pictures of them with my Quicktake camera. It's funny to think the Mac has been going 20 years. It's been a long and sometimes winding road with a few decisiv forks and dead ends and stuff but I guess it's worked out pretty well.

And my IIsi isn't unpacked  It's a good idea though Maybe I'll have to get the PowerPlayer 100 finished, so that in 2004, I can enjoy 16-bit goodness (or were the originals (000 proc) 8bit?) computing goodness /me imagines a compare and contrast between the PowerPlayer 100, and a G5... 8 bit vs. 64bit
