So, I was cleaning out my mother-in-law's attic this morning, and look what I came across:

A whole collection of old Apple boxes!

Here are some close-ups, of the venerable Apple IIgs, a clone, and assorted peripherals.

Enjoy!

Laser 128 (This is what happens when you license the OS).

I hope you liked walking down memory lane with me. :)

Hmm, oldest box I've seen in our attic (since removed, I think) is for a Performa 5250 (earlier all-in-one, though not by any means the first, even since the toaster Macs). We didn't have boxes for many of our old ones, including our old PowerBooks, though we still have a few old Macs around. Nothing quite like that though. Awesome stuff!

Did she even know they were there?

My wife thinks I'm a wierdo for keeping my apple boxes.

No, it was a total surprise to everyone. They still have the styrofoam inside. :rolleyes:
