Obsolete equipment

I'm updating this blog on my 5 year old iMac, which works like a charm even after being loved to death. This is my fourth Macintosh computer in 23 years. I average between 5 and 6 years per Mac, starting with the first Mac that I bought in December of 1984. I replaced that with a Mac Plus in around 1990, then a Performa (who even remembers them?) in 1996, and then my iMac in 2002.

Sure wish I could say the same for the Dell laptops that my university provides me with for my classes and research. They are outdated in just 3 years.

Ahh, love the new technology. Now if I could just get my 5 year old Palm Pilot to work.....
