Hello!

I've only recently gotten into vintage tech, mainly getting my Apple IIgs back in running order, and giving it a few more modern conveniences.
This was the IIgs that I pestered my parents to get for me, which looking back, must have cost an incredible amount of money back then for them. I did use it during high school for schoolwork and games. I'm in the middle of recapping it and relearning what software was and is available on it.

The other project computer I have right now is my wife's old Macintosh SE (FDHD) that she got in college. It was sitting at her parents garage for a very long time, and will need a lot of work.

I have slightly newer Apple tech as well: an iMac G4 and a 2010 Mac mini (and a 2020 Mac mini), as well as a 1st gen iPod.

Welcome to TD (Tinker Different), @tmtrains! :)(y)

I, too, pestered for the Apple IIGS or a compact Mac. I had an Apple //e that I souped-up. I used the Apple IIGS and Mac Plus, SE, and SE/30 in school. In my senior year, I used the PowerBook 145B. In college after high school, I had a PowerBook 520c.

Now I have a souped-up Apple IIGS and Mac IIci. I am currently working on my SE/30.
