| - | ==== Macintosh and Mac computers from "pre-Intel" times ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | 12 years ago, Apple changed the architecture of their computers to Intel | ||
| - | processors. | ||
| - | |||
| - | From our large stock we present a choice of Apple computers of the times | ||
| - | before: | ||
| - | |||
| - | Starting with a classic Compact Macintosh over LC, Quadra, Performa and | ||
| - | PowerMac to the first coloured iMacs, from PowerBooks to the first iBooks. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Besides models with original Apple software, we show how some of these | ||
| - | devices can still be used productively with Linux as operating system. | ||
