Anyone who is nostalgiac for old PCs and old Macs is definately crazy.  Those things just sucked ten ways to Sunday..  I've had several (not-even-very-old) Mac and PC laptops that were painfully s-----l-----o-----w.  On a flight out of New York once I turned on my little Mac and I think it was still loading extensions when we landed at Gadwick for gas. It was ready about the time we got to Istambul.  :)  

Classic computers are cool..  here's one I'd personally love to own.

WOW !!! QL compatible qith a 68060 !!!! This is really cool !


I thought so too.  Its not vapor, either.  These can still be bought.  I emailed them about six months ago, got a reply the next day.  IIRC a fully assembled Q80 was going for about 700 + shipping.  I think there is a pretty respectable web browser for those as well (still being updated).
