Well I have finally met my new acquisition, the complete LC system my dad managed to swing. It's pretty complete but sadly lacking it's packaging, but not anything else thankfully. Here is the complete stuff list I got with it: - Mac LC - 40MB Hard Disk & one Floppy - 4MB RAM

It is a tragedy - I hope Mike Breeden has a dire need for the money he hopes to collect. You must now scour the newsgroups via Google to find info that probably isn't as good or as fresh. I expect that a boycott will emerge and the info will migrate to the newsgroups. If you don't have newsgroup
