I actually knew nothing about the Mac Classic, or any other classic Mac until I moved to my current location, where there was a Classic, and a 5400 in the garage. the 5400's montior burned up, and the Classic's Hard Disk died. My 6100 has sat in storage since 2002,my performa 638 was a gift from my gradeschool computer teacher (It has a tv tuner, but doesn't seem to work anymore), and the only other classic mac is my LCII which also has a dead HDD... I seem to kill them for some reason.
