Thanks for the description of the Plus contrivance, Frank. ISTR that
the Plus Full Page Display (FPD) was beige to match the original Mac
colours. That would make the later ones grey to match the later
SE/Mac II family colours.

I got to see the computer museum when it was at MRO (DEC Iron way
marlboro) where the TX2 and some of the MIT hardware is still (as of
late 93). Before the BCM was opened on the wharf all those systems were
in MRO and I did get to see that many times as my business inside DEC
would often have me over at one of the several buildings there. Some of
the display also spilled over to the ajoining building where the cafeteria
was (worst food in DEC, the mill was better).
The BCM hsed to (pre PC) have a Honeywell, SAGE, PDP-1 and numerous
machines of former glory on display. Now they are somewhere parts
unknown or the back room. Next time I'm in town I should stop in and ask
if I can see the real machines.

I have wanted to ask this for a while. What is the actual risk of me
blowing myself up if I service a machine with a built-in monitor?
An example is the Mac SE. Is there any risk involved (as long as I
don't short capacitors with my fingers) in taking it apart? What are
the parts I should watch out for? How long do they hold a charge?
Could I discharge them?

There was a guy who was selling videos of (I guess) the same sort of thing
for the Mac at the first VCF. Sam can probably get you info. I thought it
was neat, but being perpetually broke, didn't go for it.

A friend of mine is taking some classes at the local community college
(Where I went, lo those many years ago) and has a perfesser who says that
COBOL is dead.
Which makes me wonder how I manage to earn 6 figures doing new COBOL
development... 8^)
