Vintage/classic Apple Macs

Does anyone on here have a use/desire for old Macs?

I often use a 1400C Powerbook. Horribly slow, but that's not important for what I do with it. And it has a far better keyboard than a new one, which is important for what I do with it.

Good point, the same goes for all old Mac keyboards.

I had visions of collecting at least one of all the Mac generations I've owned but I've run out of space. Having hidden them away for years it's odd to see them again ... II, LC, CX, Quadra, Powermac 7100/9600, G4s, G4 Quicksilver etc.

Same problem here . . . we have about 10 late 90s models in storage. And almost all former agencies I've worked didn't like to dump those ole baskets between neighbours garbage.

Sold my 8100/120 a few years ago to a lady-writer. The old software included, so she could make illustrations. Trinitron 17" was marvalous.

The keyboards are indestructable . . . I tend to plant fingers with comet's speed when hitting a period. Never failed on me . . .

I know quite a bunch of crazy chaps who have Mac musea . . . nutters. And often single . . .

Have a word with the Computer Museum at Bletchley Park, they may want them;

I've just donated my PDP11 to them.
