Today was a good day. First, an ebay order for six Zip 250 disks came in and to my surprise they were still shrinkwrapped. I popped one in my USB zip drive and my iMac had no problem reading them, which means I can now try to recover all the data off my old zip disks.
Second, I went and picked up a craigslist find - a Performa 637CD in working condition with remarkably intact and only slightly yellowed case plastics (as compared to my Performa 6200CD which is all but crumbling,) plus a bunch of software (including kid pix yay!) and an original microphone! I paid $90 for the lot which is a little on the high end but worth it for the unbroken case alone in my opinion.
As my boyfriend said, my computer collection expands to fill my desk. Not pictured are all the systems in need of work stacked underneath it however.
