NounSingular macintosh Plural macintoshes macintosh (plural macintoshes) From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The Macintosh (pronounced /ˈmækɪnˌtɒʃ/ mak-in-tosh ), or Mac, is a series of several lines of personal computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. The first Macintosh was introduced on January 24, 1984; it was the first commercially successful personal computer to feature a mouse and a graphical user interface rather than a command-line interface. Through the second half of the 1980s, the company built market share only to see it dissipate in the 1990s as the personal computer market shifted towards IBM PC compatible machines running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. Apple consolidated multiple consumer-level desktop models into the 1998 iMac all-in-one, which was a sales success and saw the Macintosh brand revitalized. Current Mac systems are mainly targeted at the home, education, and creative professional markets. They are: the aforementioned (though upgraded) iMac and the entry-level Mac mini desktop models, the workstation-level Mac Pro tower, the MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops, and the Xserve server. Production of the Mac is based on a vertical integration model in that Apple facilitates all aspects of its hardware and creates its own operating system that is pre-installed on all Mac computers. This is in contrast to most IBM PC compatibles, where multiple sellers create hardware intended to run another company's operating software. Apple exclusively produces Mac hardware, choosing internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple does use third party components, however. Current Mac CPUs use Intel's x86 architecture; models from 1994-2006 used the AIM alliance's PowerPC and models from 1984-1994 used Motorola's 68k. Apple also develops the operating system for the Mac, currently Mac OS X version 10.6 "Snow Leopard". The modern Mac, like other personal computers, is capable of running alternative operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, and, in the case of Intel-based Macs, Microsoft Windows. However, Apple does not license Mac OS X for use on non-Apple computers. From Wikipedia under the

The tax write-off you receive for the donation will more likely be more than if you sold it on-line, such as craigslist or eBay. It is very difficult to sell computers on the Internet. Most people prefer person-to-person contact when it comes to purchasing a computer. If you sell the computer, you're responsible for supporting it - including possible refund if the computer is damaged during shipping. And last, old computer have very little to no re-sale value. I would call the IRS for more information. Answered by macgeek_hi - Wed Jun 17 05:55:16 2009 How much to ask for a Macintosh G3 tower?
