I posted a wanted ad for vintage macs on freecycle just recently since my curiosity about the old things has gotten the better of me.

Hello. If you have any old macs you want to get rid of, I'll gladly take them off your hands!
Thanks,

Timothy

Just an hour later, I get a reply!

hey ****head! i have an old Imac if you want 1 so ****ing badlylemme kno and ill leave it on my stoop -chris

Even though it was worded rather strangely, I said ok. I go to the house and there is a Macintosh SE FDHD on the stoop waiting for me. I take it home and it powers right up, running System 7.1! One thing I notice though is that the speaker makes a static pip when you turn it on or off. Anyone know why? It did not get rained on or anything. This is the first "toaster" mac I have ever used, and it is far older than any of the macs I have. I think I may go back to the past and try out System 6.0 on it. :b&w:
