Macintosh SE visits the Genius Bar

Time to upgrade your mac

Kroll, of Kroll's Blog, snapped this picture while he was in his local Apple Store. It seems that this gentleman has been doing all his banking on his trusty SE for over a decade, but he thought it might be time for an upgrade. I wonder if he got himself a Quadra.

This begs the question, what is the oldest functioning Mac that you own? The oldest Mac that I have is a Cube, which is chillin' in my closet.

Clearing over the past few weeks due to an upcomming move, I stumbled upon... plugged in and tested the following machines which are working perfectly. Macintosh SE w/trackball Macintosh Performa 6220 CD Macintosh Performa 6112 CD 2 External Hard Drives (working perfectly) 1 NuDesign (not sure size) 1 UltraDrive 80 (80meg wee!) Apple Laserwriter Pro Hewlett Packard ScanJet IIc ______________________________________________ Used to run a Printing Center for 10 years prior to Kinkos Franchise and this was our pre-press equipment. Photoshop and Pagemaker installed. Thought about Ebaying them but Im way too lazy. Dusted, wiped clean and all tested. Its the Dumpster Graveyard for these classics unless someone is a collector and needs any of these for their collection. Was fun to boot them up and navigate in a Apple Environment being a WINDOWS user since 95ish. Any interests: rikb99@yahoo.com (Michigan Location) ----------------------------------------------------

I have five Classics, an SE, and a II that are part of a network. Also have a collection of well-preserved Macs including a 128K in box, Lisa 2 in box, LC in box, Plus in box, SE, Color Classic, Classic II, IIci, and 512K. My new Macs are an iMac G3 (blueberry), iBook G3 (tangerine), iMac G4, and iBook G4. I am a former school network admin and got most of my "network" that way. The others were mostly my old personal computers. I plan on using the network in the summer should I run a math camp for elementary kids.

I have an SE running 7.1 under my phone running the HyperCard Address Stack. Love that HyperCard!

Well, the collection has stopped growing as of a couple years ago, but I still have atleast three working Mac 512K's which are on an AppleTalk network with a Mac Plus, a Classic, an LCIII, a PowerBook 520, and a couple other machines. I still have an Apple IIc and IIGS as well as a Lisa 2/10, but those aren't technically Macs (although the Lisa is running MacWorks, so I guess it's essentially a MacXL). My oldest Mac in regular use is a Color Classic upgraded with a Performa 575 logic board (i.e. a "Mystic"). My home machine is a lowly 400MHz PowerMac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet), but atleast I've got a dual 2.5GHz PowerMac G5 at the office. My Newton 2100 is still my faithful sidekick. I wonder if I have a problem letting go?

Macintosh LC II w/ 10 Mbit Ethernet card via its PDS slot. I had Linux installed on it and chuckled at how slow a telnet session to it ran.

Apple IIc here... I got it at a yardsale several years ago. I think it still works, but I can't really do anything on it... it was made five years before I was even born. It is a speedy little computer, clocking at a full 1 MHz!!

I have a PowerBook 540 that is always ready to be used in my kitchen as my cookbook (using a FIleMaker 3 database).
