Well I've been reading Mac and Apple related stuff basically daily since the iPhone came out, and have never even heard of these guys.

"Since the iPhone came out" means you climbed aboard at a much later era :)

The era of Hypercard, RAM Doubler, AppleTalk, Dark Castle etc and wondering when Cyberdog, OpenDoc and Taligent were going to change the future of computing. Good times.

There's also seven years of OSX before the iPhone happened.

Eight, or ten if you count Rhapsody (which you should!).

I still have System 6.0.4 floppies :)

Alas, I had to get rid of my SE/30, my Classic, and my LC II. And not having bought a IIfx still stings.

Last time I moved I found my old Mac IIsi. Plugged it in to see how the old girl was holding up only to be greeted with "bong POP ~fizzle~" and the smell of ozone. The power supply gave out and though I was able to use a bench PS to boot, it was unreliable.

Also, a modern LCDs although conceptually multisync does not actually like frequencies that aren't PC standard S/VGA. Or it was the sync-on-green causing problems.
