Classic macs?

[carve]

Does anywhere no where I can buy a original macintosh ( yes I know i'm a geek) The reason why i want the original macintosh or a couple years after the original macintosh is because I am a huge fan of apple in general. I would also like to show it to my friends.

Thanks,

The original Mac might be hard to come buy. You can start with maybe a Mac Classic? Get one with an internal HD so you can load the system and a bunch of old games/software?

Geek? Hardly, maybe a Mac Addict? I would hardly call this guy a geek:

Nah...he's not a geek...

But I'll bet you a shiny penny that he's single....

I noticed that there are a lot of original Macs on ebay right now. So, now is a good time to buy. You can probaly pick up one for MAYBE $70.

I see a total of two original Macs. What are you talking about?

One
two
three





I assume you aren't including 512k macs? they are originals, just with more RAM.

Besides, how much do you consider to be "a lot"?

I'd say that depends on rarity value.

3 Mac Pros?? Not a lot.

3 Original Macs....quite a lot given how many are probably in circulation.

They're not considered the originals. They don't have the same value as the 128ks.

I'd say more than 6 is a lot. But there aren't even three, since there only two are 128ks.

Just about 5 years ago, there used to be tons and tons of older hardware. Typing "Quadra" would give several pages of results. Now it's only 14. Sad.
