We're suckers for new Apple tech. Every time Apple releases some new kit, we immediately start whining about how much we want it and coming up with reasons why our existing Macs need to be replaced. But we also have soft spots for old-school Apple gear, and we've amassed a collection that serves no other purpose than to sit on a shelf looking cool. Now we want to see your vintage gear. Send us pictures of your Apple treasures from years past. Do you have every Newton device or maybe that awesome Macintosh TV? Now's the time to show off that stuff! The most drool-worthy gear will take home this month's prize. Oh, and we're putting together a magazine here, people--image quality and style counts--along with descriptions of what's in the pictures.

WIN THIS!


The most awe-inspiring entrant will receive a Mysterious Box of Mystery, containing a fantastic prize, hand-picked by the Mac|Life staff. We can't tell you what it is just yet, but can say that it's definitely awesome. And if you want a chance to win, you've gotta play
