I had a Mac Classic for a while. It was a very nice, neat thing, but could have done with greyscale. I still have a Mac Plus too. I had a Powerbook 180 (16 greys and an active matrix LCD) which I absolutely loved and used all through university. Then I got a IIci, which was great but very retro by then, and then a Powermac 6400. That was a slow, bloated heap of shit. The only macs I have nowadays are my Plus, the 512k and an old Dell with OSX on it
I had a couple of the modern ones at work for a while, but they just don't hold the same appeal now. At the time the Powerbook 180, running System 7.1, was streets ahead of any available PC in every way. Modern Macs are just PCs with a slightly different OS.
