I started with a Model IVP. Put extra memory in it and a high rez board. Loved it. Still do. It makes neat labels and does Wordprocessing, Data Basing,and spreadsheeting wonderfully. Then I get this almost Mac program where I can put hot spots on the screen and move the cursor or mouse over it and clicking/pressing enter, I go into my program. Then I pick up a Tandy 1000RL which has program files in ROM. Love it. But my brother was blowing me away with his tyrades using a Mac Plus. Couldn't stand to be upstaged so I got a Mac. From there it is history. 19 Macs? Under the pretext of finding homes for Macs, I have collected close to 100 of them and probably more. My favorite Macs? Classic II/or SE-30, on the compact list.
I love my 7100/66 G3 as well as my 7200/120. I am just now building an 8500/G4. One of my 7100 is dedicated to burning CDs, and the IIGS sets, in case I need to work with Apple II fanatics. 580 is cool and so is Centris 650 and 610 and all the Quads including the little 605. I broke one of my Color Classics because they are too heavy for me to carry, but, someday when I have room, it will be on display. I probably have 50 computers in the house and hundreds in the garage, including a Radio Shack Model 1 and a couple of fake Mac Classics look alikes. As soon as I get my van cleaned out, will start taking the unusable Mac Junk to the car junk yard so DelRoy can crush them and at least get a little money out of it. My wife? She's been complaining for months. I had to retire to get my garage cleaned out, ... but I have to have help. My back is so bad that picking up a Quadra 605 is dangerous. I walked away from the last auction because they did not have one Macintosh. See, ... I am getting better. Dale -- Caddo County Harpman - ccharpman!
