Apple blew the computer industry wide open with the Macintosh in 1984 by delivering an all-in-one system that was compact and easy to use. Six years later they introduced the Mac Classic, a 68k based system running at 8MHz and packed with 1MB of RAM and a spacious 40MB hard drive. This system, the Mac Classic, is the one that I just picked up.

Not only did I get the computer, but also the original box! The only thing I don’t have is that cute little square one-button mouse. It came with System 7.0.1 already installed and has a selection of applications installed, including Microsoft Word! By any modern scale, this thing is slow, but I so love old gear, I don’t care.

Now all I need is some SCSI gear to get it upgraded
