When I went to college in 1996 my dad bought me a used Performa 660. It was an all-in-one machine -- looked like a big Mac Classic (or a very retarded iMac). It was about 1 year old, so not quite top of the line, and he paid $1000 for it. That sucker was HEAVY... very hard to get up and down stairs. And the built-in monitor was like 12 inches, tops.

I still have it in my old bedroom at my parents'. How I loved that machine, even though it became obsolete pretty quickly... it had one of the last 64k processors so when games started requiring PowerMacs I was screwed. I remember having to send Lighthouse back to Sierra because it wouldn't work.

My roommate had a color Powerbook. I was insanely jealous.

Ahh, those were the good old days when I still insisted I would never use PCs...
