I bought my Mac Plus through a school program in the summer of 1990 that Charged $999.00 for the Mac and then I bought a floppy disk drive and a Mac printer at the same time. It had 1 Mb of RAM and I increased that to 4 Mb fairly quickly and topped that off with a 52 Mb hard drive that cost nearly as much as the comp. It all still works too. Better than my Quadra 610, which needs a floppy drive. Does anybody have a cheap one I can buy?
