My Dad used to order whatever he wanted for work. They paid for it, but it was his to keep. (The crazy 80s right? Companies used to spend money like it was water).
Anyway, he had a 512 and a Plus. We don't know what happened to the 512. The Plus did come home when he bought the SE. I used the Plus for years but it eventually died in the mid 90s and we threw it out. If I'd only known 10 years later I'd be bitten by the vintage bug!
My Dad's pretty sure it all got stolen from work. He had a portion of the warehouse cornered off for his stuff. He had a TI994A and a few Apple IIs and //cs in there. He's pretty sure the 512 was in there too. Anyway, back in the 90s the company moved from one building to the other and all his stuff "disappeared". He's pretty sure one of the warehouse guys stole it all.
So the SE is the only remaining Mac from my childhood that still remains. All my other Macs have been acquired over the years from friends who have donated them to my collection and the ones that I've purchased on eBay.
