Yeah, Mac users love their vintage machines. I have an SE/30 from 1989.
It was doing pro-level WYSIWYG DTP while DOS users were staring at the
C:/ prompt and trying to configure autoexec.bat.


I don't miss my II. i used it only for Visicalc, and printed the results
on an Epson dot matrix printer. IIRC I paid about $4,200 for the Apple,
Visicalc and the printer. To say prices have dropped is an understatement.
