As a youngster I had a hand-me-down Mac Plus that I used for several years as a daily driver. It had a 10MB HDD and a 1200 baud modem. It’s what I first used to connect to local BBSes and dial-up Internet through borrowed accounts from University student friends of mine. I still remember just about every facet of that machine – from its telephone cord keyboard cable, to its awful mouse (which the previous owner had stuck foam pads on for some reason).
It’s not that I have a good memory, it’s just that the Mac Plus was a particularly influential and important machine for me.
