Can't part with old Mac.
Authored by: macmath on Jun 08, '04 08:05:08AM

I know what you mean about not wanting to part with your old Macs. A Macintosh, through its OS, has a personality and becomes a member of the family, much in the same way a pet does. [Even without the Easter Eggs and the Happy Mac, they still feel like they have a personality: they are dependable, they have their own unique look/style, they behave consistently between applications, and you can often predict how they'll behave (even if you've never done a particular task before, it feels like something a Macintosh would do, so you try it and it works).] It has to go to a good home, if it goes anywhere. I still have my old Power Mac 6100/60 (with the crayons that look worn if you advance the clock enough, etc).

Oops. I replied to the wrong parent. I wish these boards would allow you to delete within 120 seconds of posting.

Also relating to personality, even though you might know your Macintosh really well, occasionally it will do something which will (pleasantly) surprise you (you'll find some feature which you were unaware of).
