Well, perhaps I worded that badly. I had a couple Classics I was trying to get rid of, and I still have them. Eventually gave up, and I still have one on my desk I play some old games on and do work processing. Naturally, it's a subject that's very subjective and open to interpretation. In general, it seems like the non-SuperDrive SEs, Classics, and Classic IIs seemed to be a little less wanted. A better phrase for me to use would have been "less desirable than the really well-liked ones". Classics are kind of nifty since they're basically Pluses with Superdrives, internal HDs, and ADB, and have the ROM boot. Non-SuperDrive SEs still have the expansion options. Classic IIs... well, they're still 68030s at least, even with the other cripplings they have. I'm certainly intending no slight to any of the compacts or their fans, as they all have their charms.
