Hello I suppose I ought to introduce myself briefly. I love using Modern Macs, and I have hardly used the "Classic" compact models, except for a brief interlude…
Well, here it is, the first computer I ever owned, an LC 575 (LC_575 will be happy!). The one I had was a late 1994 model, with 5MB of RAM and a 160MB HDD. This…
Today I picked up an original Macintosh, with mouse, no keyboard, and giving a memory error — but an original, honest to goodness Macintosh. It's in pretty good…

How come these are so hard to come by? I have one of these in my LC 475, and it would be really cool for me IMO to own another, just for the fun factor.
