The one thing that bugs me about the newer Macs I have is that I don't
have a suitable monitor and haven't been bothered to get the adapters
figured out or buy a new monitor. I miss the serial consoles of the Suns
:) The fishbowl Macs are kind enough to include the monitor (and the SE
was the last machine I was "current" on anyway, back in the Word 4.0
days), so I kinda like them.

I have some partial SE/30s and a bit over a dozen SEs if anyone wants any.
I originally had a single SE with 800k floppy, and buying an auction lot
(locally, not shipped) of 20 SEs was cheaper than buying a single 1.4m
floppy drive :)
