An almost uncountable number of 68k's after discovering a computer recycler. In two hauls we managed to grab five or six colour classics, three LC575's (which soon found their way into the Colour Classic cases  ), a IIfx, two Duo 210's with full docks, a couple of monitors, two B&H floppy drives, keyboards, mice, SCSI bays, SCSI cables, and many more trinkets.(Oh yes, a couple of 6100's too, but I'm not proud of those.)

The most 68ks i've ever liberated at once has been 1 - every time. My biggest liberations ever have been:1. An original 1984 Macintosh complete with all user docuementation 2. An LC630 with 36 megs of RAM and the Apple Video System card. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

Hell yeah. I must admit, my liberations have been low in quantity, but often the quality has made up for it. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

Now if thats not the scariest goddamn movie ever then I don't know what is. (The original Japanese version of course, not the bogus hollywood ripoff). Cheers!

Good call- I saw the original a week or two ago- really, really creepy, and all without resorting to the standard "cue loud music and have chainsaw-wielding killer jump out" Hollywood crap... well done!
