Of course, I can't see the expression on your face under both conditions, so I don't know for sure. > Pretty much. Though I'm also admittedly coming from the perspective of never having had a computer/Mac/etc really worth collecting. My 128k is quite yellowed, has what appears to be a slight burn-in dot in the middle of the screen (almost looks like someone unhooked the sweeps and left it displaying a single dot for awhile), and it has Mac Plus ROMs in it (it was given to me with a Sad Mac code for bad ROMs. A swap with some Plus ROMs got it running again, with the bonus of being able to use 800k disks). I might feel a little differently if I had one of the pristine complete-in-box-with-all-paperwork-and-receipt-and-lock-of-hair-from-salesman type setups. As it is, I have a fun little hobbybox. My current project is to resurrect my Quadra 840AV. I have the feeling it'll end up somewhat collectible too in the end, though perhaps not quite as iconic as the 128k Macs. Mine is suffering the same collectibility problem as the 128k - yellowed face, dinged up case, missing CD bezel, damaged power button... It sometimes works! I'm suspecting a problem with caps or the SCSI chip. Scott -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
