Turns out I am the old mac worthy family member. Actually, one of my sons has a charity he likes, and has, over the years, scooped up old macs to donate to the charities. My Powerbook 1400, and my Duo, for instance. (Boy, those were sweet little computers. I think that 1400 was right up there with the best for its time.) He's got his eye on my desktop and I expect to come home some day soon & find it gone.
