So I’ve decided to take up a new hobby. Collecting the unloved Apple products in this world. I picked up an Apple HiFi from a friend for super cheap. I will be the first to admit it was really over priced. The one part of the Apple announcement that most people missed was the end-of-life of the HiFi. It is no longer in the Apple store and is probably completely discontinued. I think this leads to a very interesting niche market, collectors and Apple fetishists.

The Newton was ahead of it’s time, and now has cult status. The NeXT cube is definitely a collectors item. The elusive Pippin is a popular find among the devoted. Does this mean 20 years from now people are going to see the HiFi as a quaint attempt to muscle in on the accessory manufacturers?

One can only hope that eBay is still around then…

A new look on my blog, a new decision to write again. I have found a new desire to get back into the whole “blogging” thing. I have started a podcast with my brother-in-law, check it out at ClaytonScott.net. More tomorrow.
