They had them at the elementary school. That's about all I remember about them, though by that time, we had a mac at home. Public schools=obsolete hardware then.

There's a "root" joke to be made here, but I'm not finding it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I bought a Mac Classic in 1991 and couldn't give it away in 1996. Craziness.

I learned to program on a IIe!
If by program I mean "make color pictures with pixels," and indeed I do.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We have an Apple IIe in our guest room closet!
I'm not allowed to get rid of it, for some reason.

I have an original mac. I hope to be getting rid of it in the next couple of months. It still has data on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope to be getting rid of it in the next couple of months.
But you only just adopted him!
Okay, I'm going to go back to making my costume now.

Does Mike think he'll be able to sell it as an antique some day?
And, okay, the receptionist guy left for, like, a minute, and I just got bombarded with people asking me for departments and deliveries.
Like, guys? I didn't even know where the printer paper was this morning.

Dad repurposed all our old macs (and some work ones too) so they could be used unofficially in the schools, with mom as the distributor. Some of them are still out there. I still have my 1996 laptop, but I won't ditch that until I figure how to get stuff off it an onto my current one. It's ...nontrivial.
