I prefer compact macs in the spring and the summer, but during these cold and dark winter months I prefer Mac II**'s. In about 1 and half hour I'm going to be the proud owner of Mac IIci. Must be a beast with system 6. In Northern Europe during this time of the year the days are getting shorter and the nights longer. To keep on feeling happy, I need a color crt in front of me. Hence the use of a IIci. When spring arrives, and the days get longer and warmer and flowers will grow again, the plus or the se/30 will probably reappear on my desktop too. But I generally I agree with you: the compacts are the one's that will last because of their design. I do like the form factor of the IIci/quadra 700/IIcx too though. There is something special about those boxes, especially in combination with a monitor from that time. > Which brings up a good point... why is everyone here using a >classic Mac? 1. Compacts have nice and crisp screens, nice for word processing 2. Trustworthy: the less bloated the software, the less can go wrong. 3. I like old time games (don't wanna spend any time learning the new one's, that are basically the same anyway accept for movies and graphics). 4. Nice form factors etc. etc. etc. Marten -------------------------------------------------------- Check out the System 6 Heaven: http://www.euronet.nl/users/mvdk/system_6_heaven.html -------------------------------------------------------- -- System6 is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> System 6 Heaven <http://www.euronet.nl/users/mvdk/system_6_heaven.html> System6 info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/system6.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/system6%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
