I like the T-shirt it is the one from the Apple T-shirts book "Why do people love Macintosh?" "Just ask!" 

The top DuoDisk also appears to be platinum... I've only ever seen beige.

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…

There is not a 6GB HD in. Runs much better however the CD drive is flaky at best. It will read the OS 8 and 8.1 CD but not the 8.6 CD. It will also not read Duke Nukem 3d (disk …

Mac128, I went with the 3% Oxydol over-the-counter stuff with "basic stabilizers." I determined that those stabilizers were pretty much the same as what are found in the US grade …
