In 1986 at Willetton SHS the Social Studies Department was loaned a
512 Mac by the SS Association. Most of the staff at Willetton went
to the SS Office to take a look and I was hooked.Had to have one.
We bought a secondhand 128k machine from Nigel Dolan at UWA for
$2200. Loved it!

Hmmm. And I started in 1987 (I think), programming with a Mac 512k with
2 400k floppy drives - no hard disk. The OS fitted on one floppy, the
compiler fitted on another, and my program was on a third. Most of my
time was spent swapping floppies. Nevertheless, the graphical user

Greetings! My first Mac was a IIVX 32MZ processor, 3 gig HD. I paid just
under 2000 dollars US including an HP printer. Then I decided to upgrade
the memory. I paid 200 dollars for 20 mega bites of ram.That's right, 20
