Welcome to the last part of the series dedicated to #MARCHintosh 2025! Adter I dabbled with the 1984 Macintosh Plus, then switched to the 2001 iBook G3/500 and then the 2006 White Macbook, I decided for the last week to go somewhere in between.
So meet the 2011 MacBook Air. Yes, it’s an 11" and it’s so small and cute, you’d think it’s a tablet. You know this one, I’ve recently written about it.

Week 3 - Macbook (2006)

Because for the first part of the #MARCHintosh challenge I used a 1984 Macintosh Plus and for the second week I used the iBook G3/500 from 2001, it felt only right to move on to the next time period, and I stopped at another white laptop, this time, the 13.3" MacBook from 2006, the white one.
From the get go, this is a very special laptop to me, as it was the first Apple laptop I ever got, bought second hand from someone found online.

If you haven’t read the first part of the #MARCHintosh challenge, make sure to take a look over there as well. Unfortunately, because the Macintosh Plus feels a bit air-gapped, there’s not much I can do in order of sharing content from and to it. So after playing a few rounds qof Space Invaders, I decided to use a different Macintosh for each subsequent week of this month.
I was lucky, because while I was just powering up some of the old computers I had, the iBook properly turned on this time.

Life finds a way
As I said in my initial note, I encountered some issues into getting the text file off the Macintosh Plus, because my Powerbook 5300cs is now broken, so I was able to take the text out from the Macintosh by taking photos of the screen and using the MacOS built-in function of text-recognition added recently in Preview on my modern MacBook Pro. It feels like cheating, but it if looks stupid, but it works, then it’s not stupid.
