This is just a shame. I was walking through a building on my University’s campus and I heard a faint voice calling for help. It was a voice I haven’t heard in many, many years. It was a sad little Mac Classic being defamed by use as a doorstop. What once was a convenient all-in-one design for its computing power has turned into a convenient all-in-one doorstop design.
Sad, just sad.
I tried to rescue the little fella, but folks looked at me like I was a little nuts while I was even taking this picture. I’ve resigned myself to taking him pictures of Lisa to keep him company and sneaking in some nourishment, like photos of the new chubby nano. That seems to make him happy and offers a newfound sense of purpose.

Turn it into a fish tank!

It possibly says something that they didn’t have the heart to throw the little box away. I still have my original SE30 sitting on the shelf next to my desk. I’m pretty sure it will start but I haven’t tried it quite a while.

The picture took me back – I wrote my first CV on a Classic! Well worth saving… and not as a fish tank!

Aww! I think we have two classics and an SE at my dad’s house! I remember at one point in my childhood having 13 macs and all my friends would make fun of me because they all used PCs. I saw my first fish tank and the mac store in London, ON. This is the first doorstop I’ve seen. I want to play the old Sim City on the SE… so good.
