We had one for a while. I can only imagine my dad somehow got it from his work as there was absolutely no way we had a $30K computer on our own dime. A year or two later it was replaced by a 128K Mac, and then later the 512k.
That last one still sits in my basement, and is perpetually on my todo list to do something with it. But I never seem to get to doing anything with it. Also can never decide if I want to try to refurbish it, turn it into an aquarium, etc etc
- jgrahamc 3y agoPlease refurb it or find it a home. I used the Apple Lisa way back then and it was a lovely (if unloved) machine. Way too expensive but a real vision of what was to come.
- jghn 3y agoI've come pretty close to refurbing it a couple of times. but usually wind up getting scared off by hazard warnings regarding electric shock from capacitors. Outside of one very minor repair, it's been about 40 years since I've done any sort of electronics work & don't trust myself.
- FullyFunctional 3y agoOMG, please please do not turn it into an aquarium. That thing is so rare that it would be a crime! If you aren't up for restoring it, maybe consider selling it (for much $$$) to somebody who would.
- jghn 3y agoHah yes that one is a thought whose time has passed. It was a trend for a while.
