I finally brought home the Performa that I mention was in my school basement, using the same method as the IIsi!
And that method is: a North Face backpack. Those things are large enough to hold any smaller desktop Mac.
I also brought home a Apple Standard Keyboard with it. The Performa boots fine, having no troubles when connected to an Dell monitor (lol, the irony). It's launcher is still filled with all of the little bits of tutorial and ad software that came standard. Sadly, most of the shortcuts are dead, but thankfully both the eWorld tour AND the eWorld client were spared! Apparently the computer was used in a school (mine, maybe, since we did use to have Apple II's.), as it has quite a bit of educational software, ClarisWorks 4, and was once connected to a Color Stylewriter 2400.
After playing with it for a while I discovered that it's floppy drive is more or less broken, taking well over an hour to format 20% of a disk. I'm debating whether I should keep it, sell it, or harvest it, which is tempting considering that it's 16mb memory module works fine in my LC. Keeping it would give me the advantage of a larger screen, but then my LC would be redundant. It's a PowerMac, but my iMac's much better. And selling, well, does anyone want one of the worst Macs ever made?
Well, at least the eWorld tour is fun to watch.
