Alf Torp

Worked in IT in various capacities for nigh on 20 years, been a tinkerer all my life with electronics and mechanics alike. Was an Apple Certified Service Engineer for 10 years, worked for Apple in Ireland for 3, plus enough Windows experience not to want to touch it EVER again.

Currently owned Macs:
- 2015 MacBook Pro 15" (daily driver)
- 2012 MacBook Pro 15" (dead graphics, annoyingly)
- 2010 Mac Mini 2.4 GHz (got 3 of these)
- 2007 MacBook Pro 17" (dead graphics)
- 2007 MacBook Pro 17" (just...dead)
- 2005 iMac G5 20" (awaiting usage)
- 2004 PowerMac G5 1.8GHz (File server and backup station)
- 2003 iMac G4 20" (PDF reader in my workshop)
- 2001 PowerMac G4 867 (defective optical drive, needs RAM)
- 2000 PowerMac G4 450 Cube (Adélie PPC candidate)

In addition I have 6 Raspberry Pis that server as router, pi-hole, OpenCPN, document servers and webservers for internal use and abuse.
