Wouldn't be surprised about the garden theory. There was a guy around here who used Classics and SEs as lawn ornaments and planters. I have photos somewhere but have to find them (a friend took them for me and they're actual prints, not digital).

The IIvx photos will have to wait until tomorrow. I did get the PRAM battery for it today so I'll likely snap that in while I'm at it. Still need two more for some other Macs.
