Why is it that everyone says that Colour Classics are so hard to find? In the last 8 years of using Macs, i've seen quite a few of them make their way past me. I've used a couple as well. They are road apples, for sure. But trust me, they are nice machines.Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!! Warrior maclover5

I got a Color Classic about a year ago exactly. I love it. But I don't use it much... Been wanting to replace the DaughterBoard with a higher up LC board. With an '040. Wish I could also bump my res to 640x480 so I could then play DOOM. On a Color Classic!::::..:....:::.::.:..::.:....:.......

I've never used a color classic either......though I remember reading some really cool things about them. The New York Times' Circuits section had an article about rabid fans who upgraded their CC's to G3. There is also this guy: http://applefritter.com/hacks/ccg4/index.html
