Those Halcyon Mac Days


Retirement, originally uploaded by mapgoblin.


I was clicking around Flickr today when I saw this photo posted by my former co-worker, Hassan. It's called "Retirement" and I loved the idea of an old-skool Mac in a rocking chair. Even funnier was Hassan's description of retrieving stuck discs with a paperclip. I remember when my dad showed me how to do that when I was 10 years old. Ah, how I miss those 512K days and the SE's.

Since then I converted to the dark side, PCs. Maybe it was all those paperclips.

This computer is on eBay now for 99 cents. Who says a dollar doesn't buy anything?
