Peter Cohen goes back in time (OK, not really!) to revisit his favorites of 30 years of Macintosh.

My personal favorite? No question, it’s the Macintosh IIci. I remember it well. Jean-Louis Gassée was the head of Macintosh development. He wore a fashionable diamond earring, and I believe he took personal pride in rolling out this particular model. Of all the Macs, either before or since, I found it the easiest to take apart and put back together. It was just so well designed.

I am awash with nostalgia. Sniff.
