In 2008 I bought a 180 from its original owners. At the time I didn't know what I wanted to do with the machines that I was accumulating. I was mostly trying to buy the Macs as an adult that I dreamed about as a kid simply to have them. Anyway, when the active matrix tunneling syndrome (AMTS anyone?) began to show itself about six years ago, I put the laptop into storage.
While browsing Tindie last month, I came across 10MB of hand made PSRAM purple goodness and decided to give the 180 another go. Despite the AMTS, I can use it for a good hour before it shows up and I'm hoping to do some work in my coffee shop to show the well-kept creature off. I like the engagement with other people it elicits. I think its good to demonstrate that consumer electronics don't have to vanish into the ether.
I usually hold my breath and create more problems when opening up my portables but not this time; the installation was very easy. I'm looking at you 2400c.
Wow, have I missed this machine. With the exception of the new RAM card, its entirely original (even the OS install). To the relative size of the System Folder from stock to additional memory, System 7.1 noticed and went YOINK I'll take that.
