The totally silent Mac Plus is by far my favourite Mac. Because I own a iomega floptical external drive I am able to read and write both Mac and DOS formatted high density disks on my Plus, enabling me to exchange docs with any other computer. I doesn't matter that it can't use adb peripherals. The Plus keyboard is just as good, if not better, than the adb keyboards. Every once in a while I fool around with some other Mac in my collection but in the end I always return to my Plus for word processing, administration with claris works database and spreadsheet and vintage games, all running from floppys because a noisy hard disk would spoil the experience.
