Greetings, long time listener, first time caller here. Well, I've been lurking for several months now and I finally have a compelling reason to register and post. I've been a Mac user since '96 having used Apple IIgs' and Macs on occasion prior to that. I do a lot of programming (Classic Mac using MPW...I won't let it die!), graphics, animation, sound editing, video editing, etc. Thirteen years later I am now up to seven Apple computers:
Apple IIgs (Woz edition)
Performa 6116CD
Blue & White PowerMac G3 (Rev 2)
Clamshell iBook 366 (Firewire)
12" G4 PowerBook
iMac 24" (2006 Intel)
and my latest acquisition...
Macintosh Classic! (2MB RAM, 40 MB HD)
I've never owned a 68K Mac so this should be fun. I understand that it's slow (and it is) and that I will probably never do anything useful with it, but it now has a good home. The screen is a little wobbly (read somewhere that that's a power-suppy issue) and the battery is dead but the little guy works! It was pretty dirty. I spent the evening with lots of cotton swabs and alcohol and now it's not too bad, if a bit yellow. My house is starting to become a Mac museum... :lol:
