Do you still have any available? I'm located in Seattle, WA.

It is definitely an interesting machine. The only color all-in-ones I've ever played with are LC 575-580 machines, and this has the very nice motherboard accessibility of those machines, but with the "cute" form factor of the 9" B&W Macs of old. Wow, you are definitely hardcore. The Colour...

Here's a picture! When I saw it, my first thought was to do a Mystic upgrade, but I'm not entirely sure where I'm going to get an LC 575 motherboard; I'll keep my eyes open for one. I know the Color Classic was based on essentially the same motherboard as the LC IIs that graced my high...

OK, booted it up today. It works fine for the most part (although the monitor does get the occasional reddish tint to it). It's running French System 7.5, and it has 10 MB RAM and an 80MB hard drive. It came with a bunch of software (French-language versions of Excel 4, Word 5.1, ClarisWorks 2...

The front is very slightly yellowed, but it's next to impossible to notice except in specific lighting conditions. Man I got some weird looks carrying an old compact Mac through Geneva on a Friday night (at least I was with a group of people, who now think I am the biggest geek on the planet)...

I saw it lying on a curb in Geneva and ended up carrying it halfway across the city, but I've liberated a Colour Classic, and it seems to be in near-new condition! I haven't booted it up to get specs on it yet, but I'll probably do that tonight. Pictures to come!

Yup, there are several small skips in my building and quite a few HUGE ones just around. More than 90% is crap though (Pentiums, broken oscilloscopes, rickety CRTs, etc). Also, almost no Mac stuff, since physicists didn't really start using Macs until OS X. There is a B&W G3 that I've seen...

So here at CERN, people occasionally pitch old computer hardware and I get to rummage through it. Today I picked up a Sun SparcStation2, complete with external CD-rom drive, several internal hard drives, a full bank of RAM and a 20" CRT monitor. Unfortunately, I haven't booted it up yet since I...
