The Mac Classic was a solid if underpowered machine for 1990. Today nobody except a collector would want it. I still have my Mac Classic, but only because it was my first Mac and I like looking at it sometimes. But if I ever want to actually run that old software, which is rare, I use Mini vMac on my MacBook Pro. As to the article, it's too bad nobody proofread or even spellchecked it (RAMM => RAM, CD-Rom => CD-ROM, 1.4MB => 1.44MB, it's => its, relfection => reflection). It has inaccurate information (the Classic was a re-issue of the SE, not the Plus). It needlessly berates good products (the Classic) and fails to berate awful ones (the Mac TV, the Twentieth Anniversary Mac). And it has an inaccurate photo (the Classic II cannot run the OS shown on its screen -- the Classic II requires System 7 but the OS shown is pre-System 6 as evidenced by the black shutter on the floppy disk icon; CRT monitors also have rather large black borders on all sides; the image does not go to the edges of the screen).

Would be really great if they can introduce this form factor again. It was brilliant, you were able to adjust the height and angle of the display so easily. A nice touch would have been an iPhone like accelerometer, allowing you to look at pages and movies in an equally impressive way. I miss the 2002 iMac.

I actually got my hands on a used Lisa as a kid and got rid of it because I had no place to put it in my room. OY! This pains me to this day... Another great trip through nostalgia..
