What do you do with your Color Classic

I bought mine for $2 dollars from a yard sale back in 2002. It had a dead 80MB Quantum ProDrive LPS inside, I wound up putting an 80MB Connor Drive in it, but that just recently started having issues, so I might have to find a new drive soon (which might prove challenging, as they are quite pricey on eBay, even for another 80MB Quantum), but for now I just swap the HD from my LC III if I want to use it.

Anyway, back on topic, I used to use mine to write reports using Word 6.0 (Bad choice, but it was all I had back then), then print to my StyleWriter 1200, and play games on it, like Escape Velocity, Maelstrom, and Glider Pro. Recently I was using it to run some christmas After dark modules, and show it off to people.

Right now it's just sitting there on my table/desk, waiting for a new drive.

It's got 8MB of ram, and that's about it, other than the Asante PDS ethernet card, but it has yellowed quite a bit sadly. :-/

Decided to clean one of them up tonight, it has 10MB of RAM and a 250MB HDD. It is actually a Performa 250, and was used at a school.

It would load to a Happy Mac, then ask for a disk. I dug out the Apple CD300 I just got, and was able to load 7.6 from CD, which I then installed onto the HDD which was recognised. All the original files are still on it, so there must have been some sort of issue with the System files being corrupted. Works great, just like the one I used to use when I was 10.
