Nice to remember macs used to be FUGLY HORRIBLE LOOKING COMPUTERS with CRT Screen, Useless Mouse, Floppy Drive, No Software Support, its amazing apple survived the 90's
@Andre Oceans: Nice to remember that computers used to load programs off of cassette tape, the floppy drive was 2.5' long 6" high, and 8" wide. It weighed about as much as a boat anchor.
And, they didn't have color graphics. They had green monochrome graphics.
Even older ones loaded programs from switches, punch cards, and reel to reel tape. They had overly large typewriters to control them instead of screens.
Please don't talk to me about computers in the 90's, let alone Macs, being fugly.
There was a point way, way back in college where, for a Mac-based graphics class I was taking, all of us students would keep, on a single floppy, not only all of our project files but also an entire, bootable Mac OS (IIRC, OS 5) AND all necessary applications. That way when we sat down to a random computer in the classroom, we could reboot it--from that single floppy!--into our own complete system.
When I think how many MacPaint files I could have stored on THIS sweet little baby...!

Do that with a C<64 disk drive. Then I'll be impressed.
(and i know that you can get a C<64 all-in-one)

I've got two C128s, a C64, two 1541s and a 1571 in storage, wondering what to do with them. :)
