Rig of the Day: Performa 578

For the month of April, the theme for our Rig of the Day will be "Vintage Macs" in honor of Apple's anniversary. We start things off with Erin MJ's shot of a well-loved Performa 578. She still remembers all those years ago when this very machine first arrived at her house:

"...in my six-year-old excitement, all I noticed was that it was COLOR! Our first color computer! I loved this computer, because it had Kid Pix (which rocked my world like you would not believe) and Mario Teaches Typing and Wacky Jacks." Ah yes, Kid Pix. I too fell in love with that application.

"Our old friend" posted by Erin MJ.

If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool. Let's see your vintage Macs (Apples and Newtons, too)! We'll select an image every day (usually) to highlight.

Wow! When I added that photo to the tuaw pool, I never dreamed it would actually be featured! Thanks so much guys, I'm sure my Performa would be happy to know its story was being read by so many people. ;)

I still remember when my Mom brought home an old Apple from her work and had bought Kid Pix and Mario Teaches Typing, I was in love! I thought I was so incredibly cool! Ahh, the simple days.

Perhaps the 'Rig of the Day' should be 'Rig every so often'. Started as a feature I loved reading, but not so much anymore.
