The New York Times recently published a special multimedia article authored by Sam Grobart entitled While You Were Out: Apple’s Years With and Without Steve Jobs.

A timeline from 1976 through 2007 is accompanied with a slideshow illustrating Apple’s products, links to NYT stories from the past about their introduction, and spoken narration by Mr. Grobart.

Aficionados of the Macintosh Color Classic will bristle, however, at the 1993 slide which identifies a Macintosh LC520 as a Color Classic. The caption also describes an LC III as a “Macintosh IIIc” (click photo above for full sized image and caption).

Inside the Macintosh Classic

I recently received a Macintosh Classic and Classic II from a fellow in San Antonio. While both were working before they were shipped the Classic II will not boot properly; there’s no startup chime and there are vertical stripes on the display.

To diagnose this symptom and plan a fix I found the following resources helpful:

I plan to replace the “power/sweep board” and have one on order that I found on ebay. With luck that will resolve the problem and the Classic II will be healthy again! I’ll keep you posted.
