- What the Apple?
- Alex Brooks
We’ve come up with a fun new game (hopefully), we hunt down an image of a Apple computer then we crop it down to some obscure part and you Mac zealots try and guess what it is. No prizes just pure fun, and at the end we’ll give you the lowdown on the machine.
So here we go…

Post your guesses in the comments.
Well done to those who got it correct. It was indeed the Macintosh 128k, the first ever Mac from within the realms of Apple. Released with a great fanfare back in 1984 it had a GUI and packed an amazing 8MHz processor.

Why that’s the back of the very first Mac! Those Macs had handy doors for replacing the clock batteries.

It’s the back of the new Dual-Core Duo Mac Pro desktops replacing the Power Mac G5.

That is definitly the back of the MacPlus 1mb to be exact…..why do I know, because I had worked on one, and still have it here on my shelf. It was a great little machine.
Thanks for rejogging my memory…….
