Good for you kind sir! I have a 128k, can't tell much until I get someone who can actually be effective with a soldering iron to get the CRT to work; but I like the iMac 333-I got one from my Aunt Freddie and it is grape, she gave me the original keyboard and hockey-puck mouse with it (they flaked out and had to be replaced with spares unfortunately, and in my own personal opinion, just like the 128k/512k/512ke/Plus/SE/SE/30/Classic/Classic II/Color Classic/Color Classic II/Performa 200/Performa 250/Performa 275 were all REAL "Classics" the 4 revisions of tray-loading iMacs deserve the label "New Classics". That 333 grape iMac is how I fulfilled (however poorly) my Classic desires until a 128k could be conquered.

Strangely enough, even though I said I wanted newer, faster, better compacts I still couldn't stop getting the 128k. $25 when the fix appears to be a relatively easy one (save for the fact I'm no good at soldering anything) to fix, and a way to say I have a legal Mac 128k for Mini vMac (I don't really want to touch it unless I have a real 128k and it is made working both, and even then solely as a way to get my 128k and my iMac 2.8GHz to talk to one another), is a really sweet deal for me!

Hope this helps and have a great day! :b&w:
