we had a mac plus when I was in high school, upgraded to 4 megs of ram and a 20mb SCSI drive, but I think the floppy drive couldn't read 1.44mb disks also arturia released a couple new synth emulations including the matrix 12 so I grabbed the original manual from 1986 and  macpaint

theadder posted:the retinal imac op leaning toward a retina mbp but not gonna be soon and it'll just complement the iMac rather than replace it was looking though the licenses for my music stuff and god dammit Korg's poo poo can only be installed on one machine at a time and it's enforced by a one-time auth code, there goes $200
