My first experience with a full width modular Mac (can't say whether it was a II, IIx, or IIfx) was right around Y2K. I was teaching Office to junior high aged kids at an Omaha high school in the Summers between 1997 and 2003. The regular-school-year teacher whose room I used had a fantasticly stocked back room full of every kind of Mac. So one day for giggles we took a II and put a graphics card in every slot. (Was there such a thing as a dual monitor nubus card? Because I swear I remember 8 monitors hooked up to it when we were done.) Anyway we arranged the 6 or 8 monitors on school desks in a semicircle around the chair and everybody took a turn taking the mouse pointer from the first screen all the way to the last with the Kensington mouse ball. It was like sideways Golden Tee. Bzzzzzzzzz!

We did all kinds of fun stuff with those spare machines of his. He quit suddenly one summer and left it all in that back room. I managed to rescue a few from their destined dumpstering, only to leave most of them in a back room at a different school myself a few years later.
