Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
a shipping palette of classic Macs should cover everyone, right?

then everyone could use Optimus Rhyme’s totally classy “Samantha Fox” system without loading up Mini vMac

American Science & Surplus is very much my kind of poo poo, miss it from when I lived in the Chicago area

you should get yourself a couple old Macs and network them with PhoneNet and play old Mac games with your wife

do not underestimate the fun of Tetris and NetTrek and Dark Castle and Crystal Quest on that beautiful blue-white 9in screen

(also, uh, if they ever happen to have a Macintosh Portrait Display…)

theres never been a macintosh computer that wasn't trash and the ones in the op cant even run windows so they have no redeeming value unless maybe you think you can sell them for scrap?

on the one hand it'd be great for nostalgia's sake, but on the other I live in an apartment and space is at a premium.

yet on the third, gross genetic defect hand, if I could get one really cheap...

wonder if I still have any of my old HyperCard stacks lying around on disk somewhere.
