  • 20 Macs for 2020 – Mac Portable

    by

    I’ve listened to most of these in podcast form, but I’ve got the videos queued up as well because I want to see these cool pieces of Apple history. The intro is pretty cheesy…like you’re dad trying to be cool cheesy. I guess they’re both dad’s though, as am I.
