In the late 70s I was producing jazz records and became friendly with Michael Cuscuna, soon to become one of the medium's most revered producers and the leading reissue producer in history.
In the early 80s he and BlueNote Records executive Charlie Lourie started the pioneering Mosaic Records as the first company specializing in boxed set reissues of classic performances, available only by mail order. Michael and I became reacquainted when I ordered their first set (The Complete BlueNote Recordings of Thelonious Monk) and he asked me to get involved with helping them out of the hole. It turned out their 'sure thing' idea wasn't having many takers and they were worried about shutting down.
My partner Alan Goodman and I turned them down two years in a row with a lot of unsolitcited advice about what they could do better --we were broke and our company was barely alive itself-- even if we were talking through our hats. Everything we knew about direct mail cataloging was from being mail order customers ourselves and from a direct mail how-to book I'd read the first chapter of. We loved Michael and Charlie, and we admired what they were trying to accomplish at Mosaic, but we were just too low on bandwidth.
Three years in our company was doing a little better and Mosaic was doing a lot worse; Michael and Charlie successfully prevailed on us to finally help. We knew no more, but full of the arrogance of youth we lugged out Alan's first generation portable computer and invented the first Mosaic 12-page brochure on our summer picnic table. Alan wrote every word (I supervised "strategy" -- what else is new?), our friends Tom Corey and Scott Nash designed the thing, Jessica Wolf supervised the production and we mailed out the first Mosaic catalog ever in the summer of 1986.
We waited for the order phones to ring, and lo and behold, in the first three weeks Mosaic's business had increased 10 fold. They were in business forever. Alan's still writing the brochures, I'm still getting the free box sets and lobbing in ideas from the side. What a world we live in. I've never been prouder of any project I've worked on in my life.
Do you like jazz? Order one of the Mosaic sets. They are still the standard by which all others are judged.

Love me some Apple. The company and the fruit. :)
Been a Mac user since 1994, surfing the web on a Powerbook 145B, which I still have btw. :) Been a Mac user longer than that if you count the Apple iiGS that we had back in the late 1980s. I had a momentary lapse in judgment during the late 90s when I switched to Windows. But I have since found my way again. LOL. Now if only I would have put more faith in the company by investing more money in Apple Stock.
i got this just cause i thought it was a cool-very old computer,could do a lot with a case this big.

On the left, the Powerbook Duo 230, purchased in 1994; on the right, my 12" Powerbook G4, purchased in 2004. The machine on the left cost about $2,500, has a 33 MHz 68030 processor, has 24 Mb of RAM, and has a passive-matrix 640x480 grayscale screen; the machine on the right cost about $1,500, has a 1.33 GHz G4 processor, has 640 Mb of RAM, and has an active-matrix 1024x768 color screen. That's only the *start* of the list of differences.

I really did like the Apple IIe line. This was the first model Apple I had the opportunity to try, and the funny "return" key stuck in my mind for - literally - decades afterward.

Atari Mega ST 1 with Atari Megafile 30 hard disk module, Atari keyboard, Atari SM124 monitor and third-party 3.5-inch drive, 5.25-inch drive, mouse.
This is one of my earlier computers, an Apple 2c. The huge dot-matrix printer is on the right and the compact keyboard seems so alien compared to keyboards I'm more familiar with. Just below the monitor on the left, is the 5.25 inch disk drive. Now, there's some high-end technology for you!

This morning turned into some fun moving computers, or something like that.
We decomissioned an IT suite, meaning we had to strip down these 32 venerable HP DC7700 machines so they can make their long, long overdue visit to the recycling centre.
Then we had to move the 32 computers from the room next door into the one we just cleared.
All good fun.
This is in preparation for some demolition that will be happening that requires some teachers to move classrooms.
In January.
Maybe.

The Spectrum+ tried to solve the biggest minus of all Sinclair computers so far: the awkward keyboard.
