Sad Chimes Rest Home
They deserve more than ending up on the scrapheap after a life of creation and innovation. Be sympathetic to your old Apple in its time of need, send it to the Sad Chimes Rest Home for retired and redundant Macs. A place where the Mac Classic and the G3 iMac can reminisce about operating system developments.

I think I’ve got 3 or 4 in the loft added to the three I use during the day – a nice little family of them!
Tom Douce
Very nice man, you really excucuted this well. I especially like the cracks within the tshirt, makes it look even better. Perhaps it’s best colour would be a dark one but it looks ok on white!
Well done again
Douce
rubyred replied
Cheers Tom, a little ageing and distressing can do wonders. At least that’s what I tell myself when I look in the mirror!
Rachel Counts
Love the design on black!
rubyred replied
You could be right Rachel! I originally wanted to show it on the brown, but black could be the one.
Ross Robinson
Brilliant RR. I still have my old original iMac up and running. (Admittedly I don’t use it much…)
rubyred replied
i hope it’s original and not one of those weird patterned ones they did for a while. I’ve got a bondi blue first generation in the loft, still works.

Except for the Classic, I’ve got a few of each.
Nice work. Worth waiting for. How’s the hand?
rubyred replied
The Classic is a true classic. The hand is so much better, thanks for asking ;)

Got a new laptop a few months ago; the old sawtooth g4 sits unused under the desk. Keep thinking I will use it for another game of Halo multi-player…. it was a trooper, but even after memory upgrades finally got too slow. Easy to work with music on [before memory problems] and only a couple of repairs…. oooh and had a mac classic that I played Spectre on way too much. So glad laptop is hard to play games on—actually getting some work done now.
Oh and your design is great. Agreed Mr. Douce – the aged texturing works well. I tried some scrapy texture over my last design but it didn’t integrate well, so left it off. Whereas on rubyred’s it looks like it is part of the shirt. Good work!
rubyred replied
It’s strange how quickly you get used to the speed of a new machine and before long you’ve decided it’s too slow for you and an upgrade is needed. Compare what we worked on back in the day with the latest versions and the development is crazy.
Adam de la Mare
Love it… my kids inherited a blue iMac… which is still going strong!
rubyred replied
Treat it well my friend, they deserve a relaxing retirement!
Anne Hale
Ahhh, the good old days… I used one for accounting way back when. Wonderful, vintage design.
rubyred replied
It’s nice to know people remember their old Macs with fondness.
Frank Stillitano
Haha, cool idea. And the typography is soooooo G3!!!
rubyred replied
haha cheers Frank. A little nod to the classic Mac fonts, only a true geek would recognize ;)
Jason Moses
Cupertino did it for me =)
rubyred replied
It’s the Mac Mecca!
Ross Robinson
I got the Sage one which I think was one of the first to play DVDs. It wouldn’t burn CDs (or DVDs) and it came with a proper-shaped mouse not one of those horrible circle ones.
rubyred replied
Yeah, those round mice should serve as a reminder to the Mac boffins that they don’t always get it right.

And here i was thinking it would be all PCs dumped and uncared for in the retirement homes not macs. hehe! cool image and stylings here R.
rubyred replied
Even Macs reach their end at some point!
Grandia
amazing design roger! the colors and the weathered look work very well =)
rubyred replied
Cheers buddy! Just a bit of fun with some ageing.

How did I miss this?? Very clever.
Satta van Daal
very cool!
it is a very little known fact that quite a few of the retired processor units of the apple heritage are opting for a second career as art models … i have a fair few of them in residency:

rubyred replied
Sounds like you’ve got yourself a classic there, they evolve so quickly but there’s quality in those genes ;)
