OK, the FAQ said to drop by and introduce myself, so here goes: I'm the sysadmin for a mixed-platform LAN in higher ed, I've been collecting old Macs for a couple years now. I've been hanging out on the Low End Mac maillists and figured I'd broaden my approach. So far, I have:Mac Plus (2 of these somehow, both free from the landfill)
Mac SE
Mac SE FDHD (two of these, too)
Mac SE/30 (still in daily use)
Mac IIci (two of these)
Mac iisi (two of these, altho I know they are despised for some odd reason)
Performa 475
Performa 550
Color Classic, with carrying case Plus a host of external floppy drives, CD drives, HDs and even an old 40SC tape backup - all rescued from the landfill, flea markets, yard sales and the campus surplus store. Plus I have a bunch of PowerMac machines because I can't pass any Apple product at the flea market without making an offer. See you around, Strayhorn |

Welcome, comrade! I'm glad somebody visits the site every once in a while...Yes, I know it's a bit on the shotty side...a whole host of updates will come in the near future...The IIsi isn't hated 'round here! It's the Performa 600/IIvx which should be set aflame and have their ashes urinated upon... But anyways  ...welcome aboard! --------------------

Yeah, i know. The IIvxes really did suck, hardware wise, but still, as they're still 68k Macintoshes, i think they should be loved all the same, and when the chance comes, liberated. Anyone agree? P.S: The IIsi is not hated around here. As a matter of fact, i believe in the following equation: IIsi = PLAY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!! Warrior maclover5
