They remain, to me, the most amazing computing machines ever created. The Mac G.U.I. makes them so absolutely useful still, from the Plus to the SE/30, the things they can do make them timeless. Jam packed with all sorts of software, they continue to delight children and the elderly, they handle my email from time to time, they print, process, draw, calculate, play and educate in ways that keep them eternally useful. My refurbed ones still find grateful homes and the new owners are very surprised at the scope of the machines' abilities to function nearly like new ones. I think we'll see them find good uses for quite some time to come..... Jeff -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
