Apple Macintosh
My latest computer is a flat-screen 1.25GHz iMac
(the one where the computer is in a lamp-like half-dome base), running Mac OS X.
It's not the latest, but
it does everything I need it to, including video editing. The 80GB hard drive easily holds
enough video to make a 1.5 hour DVD (with editing using Final Cut Express - great program!)
and the 17" widescreen lets me see everything.
Before the fall of 2003, this had been produced on a Mac G3 Minitower,
although much initial work was done on earlier Mac(s), such as my Performa 631CD.
Both work well - order the latest today at the
Apple web site.
Just recently have I had a scanner. Prior to that I've used a video capture card
(See my first picture and the method used to capture & upload it at my
first picture page.
Details on my G3 system :
233 MHz PowerPC processor, 4 GB Ultra-wide SCSI drive,
20x CD/DVD drive, Iomega Zip drive, A/V in-out card, 96MB RAM (upgraded),
6MB VRAM, 17" Apple monitor, 33.6 modem, running Netscape 4.72, upgraded to OS 8.6
from OS 8.1 -
as of Jan. 2001. Purchased May 1998 thru the online build-to-order Apple Store.
My old Performa 631 (2x CD) had a 66 MHz Motorola 68040 processor,
with .5 GB hard disk and 20MB RAM (upgraded), with a 14,400 baud modem,
and dated from the summer of 1995. I still have my B&W Classic (9MHz 68000,
40MB hard disk) for no
particular reason, same as the Apple //c (with the 65C02 chip) I guess.
