Very well written. Enjoy that machine.

Nice haul. The Mac looks like its in good condition, with no yellowing. Looks like it comes with some good accessories too...are those game controllers ADB? :O Click to expand.…

Hi, Thanks JRL; I've actually been watching those for a while now. But from my research about these drives, I found that they will not work on my Macintosh 512k without speci…

The Goodwill here rarely sells computers. However, one time I went there, they had tons and tons of them. Two Sun Ultra 5s, ~15 PCs, and ~5 laptops (including a heavily upgraded P…

Well, I just had my week made. I was out this evening, when I hadn't planned on being out at all and was kind of not wanting to drive places. I happened to be driving past an old p…

Thanks Dog Cow, Yeah, I did some research some time after my post to find out what I needed to know about a Mac Plus, and to my surprise I saw that, as you said, it uses an 800k d…

Hi,And if anyone can offer me any spare 400k floppy drives they may have, internal or external, let me know. A spare floppy drive or two would certainly come in handy now that…

Hi, Just bought this as a Buy-It-Now on eBay for a total of $50.00. The seller includes the keyboard, mouse, and even the owner's guide as well! So overall, I'd say, a great eBa…
