It took me twelve years to max out my Mac-Enstein, named so after I replaced its G3 processor with a G4 six years ago. Over the years, I added a super drive, an internal hard drive, and a video card so that I could join the Flat Screen Society. And it was a DUer in this very group who directed me to a site where I could get an emulator for OSX. Otherwise, I truly would not be where I am today.

Even the thought of just putting it out with the garbage was so genuinely painful I made a copy of the rainbow Apple logo, attached it to my new refurbished Mac Mini, put the white logo sticker it came with on the Macenstein, and wrote an epitaph. It really did make me feel better -- an attempt to transfer its soul, you might say!
