Anybody know the earliest Foxtrot Mac reference? First one I know is when Jason finds a forgotten Christmas present behind a chair... it's a PowerMac 9500 and a big monitor, tablet, scanner, all the hot gear.

Then he wakes up.

That's a keeper.

There are earlier ones. I recall one about a Quadra, back in the days when they were the high end machines.

Not the first, but I think the most famous Mac reference, at least among the Macintelligentsia, is the Ellen Feiss parody from a few years back. There is even a thread in her about that one.

It also has to deal with a Slashdot article about how Geeks are better in bed.

Wiley Miller's given Obviousman an O-Mac for the last few days:
