Yes, there's lots of things you can do with an SE; since you have an internal HD, you have lots of options. SE's can send email, write correspondence and run databases; many of the same things today's computers can do (if you can find the software). They're especially great for kids, as was recently discussed on this list. I'm sure many people on this list will share their SE experiences.
But if you already have a higher-end computer, you probably won't be using your SE for everyday work. I know that's the case for me. However, I love my SE and I love to show it off on my desk at work, where it's a great conversation piece. Since I work at a college, many students say "I used one of those in grade school," while the staff reminisce about using one in college. Aside from being a conversation piece, I run a slideshow on it via an AfterDark screensaver module. Normally I run family pictures, but right now I'm running some halloween-themed images. When I get bored of the slide show I can run it as a clock using Blackwatch. While I find that the clock is pretty poorly designed, it probably attracts more comments than the slide show. Of course, since the clock (and slideshow) runs as a screensaver, it's possible to use the SE for other things (one idea: keep a filemaker database in the kitchen with recipes) and have it revert to clock mode when you're not using it. http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/plus-se_clock.html At 02:19 AM 10/15/02 -0700, you wrote: >I picked up a MAC SE compact mac, it has the internal HDD and the Floppy >drive, both seem to work, it has OS 6.0 on it I think, is there anything >useful I can get this mac to do, I think its like the coolest thing ever! -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
