Just finished cleaning off my latest find: An original Mac, upgraded a bit. This is my first pre-90's Macintosh, and I'm quite happy! Paid $40 for it, though it doesn't come with a…

The LC 5xx line is indestructable! I have a clean LC 580 with 52 MB (max) ram, 3 GB HD, System 7.5.5 and it runs any 68k app with ease. Never had any issues with it.
