Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a Little Mac
I hope the forlorn placement of this beautiful little Macintosh is a sign that my flatmate is planning to upgrade, so I can take it off his hands.
Because, obviously, I really need one.

Please don’t turn it on. System 7 was worse than OS 8 or OS 9. Don’t even think of putting a linux on it. Please let your housemate put it in the bin where maybe it might even get recycled into something useful. Like a plant pot.

Less of that Donny. On the rare occassion I switch on my Classic II, I’m reminded of the elegance and simplicity of System 7. IMO, Mac OS started to get a bit bloated and unstable at System 8. My Classic was pretty slow, but it suited my University essay writing needs perfectly.

And my flatmate has been using this one as his main computer since the day he bought it, which is a pretty good run. Though. to be perfectly honest, I’m only interested in it as an ornament… mostly because I still have nightmares about an office full of these that required my attention every ten minutes if there was any chance of the network staying up.
(See you at the wedding Don!)

Well, I’m afraid that I did turn my old one of these into a plant pot, and I can see Geraniums growing out of it in my back garden at the moment…
