I recently heard about this new community from a friend and thought I'd drop by to introduce myself. I noticed that this forum has a rule requiring usernames to be longer than 2 characters. I usually go by "tt," so I appended "-30" to it since I primarily play with the SE/30. My collection started with an SE/30 I found at shopping at a Goodwill with my girlfriend in the early 2000s. I was thrilled to find it, recalling how I used to admire it in computer showrooms when I was younger. At the time, it was too costly for my family to buy brand new – instead, we got the Mac Plus with a 20MB hard drive. My interest led me to scour for more information about the SE/30, and that's when I stumbled upon gamba's website and the special corner he dedicated to the SE/30. My first eBay purchase was probably an Asante ethernet card for it. I remember thinking it was pricey at roughly $20, especially considering the cost of the old machine itself.
Besides the SE/30, I'm keen on other 68k desktop Macs, such as the IIci, a few of the Quadras, Mac Plus, SE, and Color Classic II. I try to not delve beyond this generation of machines to try to keep things simple for myself. However, they also have a rich history, and it's cool to see new developments, discoveries, and rediscoveries associated with these systems.
