Updated Poll: Oldest Mac in Daily Use... - Buzz - 09-02-2006
What is it? How is it used/what is it used for? Must be used regularly and provide productive benefit to you, meaning Daleks only SE that is still running, doesn't qualify, nor does that Q630 that only does folding 24/7 as altruistic as it may be. Just the old boxes that still do real work for you, even though you have other older running horses in the barn...
ours is a 7300 w/ 1GB RAM, 500MHz G3, ix 8MB UltimateRez, FW/USB card, that handles 50 - 100 faxes a week, which includes some pre and post processing to picts and some light pdf work
What's yours?

So my ancient PowerBook doesn't count if it's playing digital picture frame, huh?
Then as I have recently retired my 9600, the oldest one in daily operation is my Beige which is a part of my entertainment system and also is a file server and music server.
...and it's folding.

I use a Powerbook 180 for my business database every day. It has been going since 1993, I believe, and is only turned off when a storm is coming.

Buzz-
What are you using for Faxes? Can you tell me more?
I've got a PowerTowerPro with a G3 Upgrade card running OS9 that mainly does vinyl to MP3 conversions and I'd like to press it into double-duty as a fax machine.
At work, I've got a G4 450 tower running 24/7 as the company server and an original iMac (with tray loading CD drive) that runs 24/7 as the company iTunes music feed.
