Welcome to the forums.

Good to see younger folks picking up the same interests. Me, not a frequent poster here but certainly reading along. I got myself into classic Macs some years back when I picked up a Plus with external HD.

I assure you, it won't be the only machine you're running right now. I call another Plus my own now, a SE/30, two 520c (one with a PowerPC upgrade), and I'm awaiting a 1400 Powerbook. There's a third 520c PB waiting for me with almost full RAM (28 MB).

The Plus has become a bare bone typewriter. I can transfer files on disk to the 520c which is hooked up to my home network. Printing to a lpr queue on Windows which in return prints to a ghostscript emulation printer which in return dishes out beautiful documents on my physical non-postscript laser. This has put my vintage macs back into serious word processing business, something they always have excelled at.

I even use the 520c on the go since my other modern laptops all have bitten the dust and couldn't see me spending more money to fix them.

System 7 is neat and with open transport networking works great.
