> In my opinion, the SE series compacts were BUTT UGLY! Ah, so it comes down to aesthetics.
This is obviously a matter of taste. All the compact Macs look pretty similar to my eyes, and the "racing stripes" on the SE and SE/30 are a pretty standard way of hiding ventilation. But for me the compact line ended when it quit improving. After the SE/30, the Classic and Classic II were more like nostalgic reflections of the original Mac than a successor to the SE/30... none of the compacts had enough expansion capability to really worry about, especially when Apple changed the PDS slot after the SE/30 so new internal expansion devices couldn't be used in it. But going back to a 16-bit data bus was such an appallingly cynical move that I was stunned. What was Apple thinking of? The Color Classic with its "welding mask" fascia is not even worth talking about. Both the SE and the Classic were "houses on a small lot". They have the same floor plan, they have virtually the same design. But for some reason all the doors in the "Classic" house are half-size... -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
