Just Mac Classic things. #VintageMac

I had a dream last night that I was at an estate sale with a bunch of old computer stuff. There was a Mac that was essentially this form factor but the plastic was black and there was a DVD changer stacked on top. The label in front said “Power Macintosh Media Server”. My wife approved buying it because it was so novel, but sadly I woke up before getting to use it. 😆 #RetroMacintosh #RetroApple #VintageMac #VintageApple #RetroComputing

I picked up this Mac Classic and StyleWriter on Facebook Marketplace for $150. It looks to be in great shape, and includes disks and manuals.

The seller said it was left at the house when the previous owner moved out. I’m told their dissertation is on it.

I have no interest in digging into this person’s business but I love the idea that this thing is a sort of time capsule. I’ll have to back it up for posterity.

Very pleased with today’s find. I remember seeing these in Mac magazines and catalogs as a kid. I owned a Gravis joystick but not the game pad. #VintageApple #VintageMac #RetroApple #RetroComputing #RetroMac #RetroMacintosh

I also found this pack of Apple branded DVD-R discs. The box is open but each disc is still wrapped. Never bought them when they were current because they just seemed too expensive. #VintageApple #VintageMac #RetroApple #RetroComputing #RetroMac #RetroMacintosh

The local university has a surplus store and I finally got around to checking it out today. Turns out it's also an outlet for a local electronics recycling organization.

On my first visit I picked up this old Mac serial (printer/modem) cable still sealed in original packaging. Yeah it's nothing too special but I like that the label calls out ImageWriter II.

Me on my family’s first computer, around 1993-1994. Macintosh LC 475 with AppleCD 300e, SupraFAXModem 14400, Gravis MouseStick II. Not pictured, we also had a StyleWriter II.

I was playing a flight simulator. I can’t tell from the photo, but it was either Hellcats over the Pacific or F/A-18 Hornet by Graphic Simulations.

Does anyone have a Macintosh TV logic board they could sell me?

I'm cool with boards that need repair... but the only one on eBay has been so severely battery-bombed that the CUDA chip doesn't even exist anymore.
