Reviving an old computer is like restoring a classic car: There’s a thrill from bringing the ancient into the modern world.
Read more about this crazy, fascinating idea here.
Personally, though, I wouldn’t do this to my old treasures. I’d be happy enough to get them up and running, possibly connecting them through a home network.
The Mac Plus above isn’t mine (well, actually my mom’s). I got it from Wikipedia, but of course ours (mom’s) looks just the same. Only I think we got ours in 1989 or 1990. Sweden was a little later to get those first Mac computers. We also have two Mac Classics.
