I have never used an apple before and would like to try one, think a laptop wouldn't bother the wife to much if it was sitting around.

Alex,

I have a 68030 II SE I am getting rid of. Would that work for you? I have a 17" Mac monitor with the built in speakers too, if you want it. I think it came with one of the first Mac types with the video I/O card from the factory. Very fancy (expensive) monitor in its day!

Also have a 7200, G3 Beige and Blue/white Macs, along with a Wall street laptop with OS 10 on it, looking for homes if anyone is interested. Pay the freight, and they are yours! Oh, and I have one other, can't remember the model, but it is also an 030, the small one. I used it for a headless print server for quite a while.

(cleaned the garage today)

My favorite old app is print shop for the Apple II. You could do stuff with it that later Winders and Mac versions could not do. Love those dot matrix graphics. Now it is a "retro" look. A step up (or down) from Asci II graphics.

Aha, Jim, now you've hit on the _real_ reason to buy trailing-edge
hardware... it's not about saving money so much as it's about being
able to run old games.

Sometimes I wish I'd kept my Mac Plus around just to play Dark Castle.
 (Yes, I know I could do it though emulation, but it's just not the
same.)
