Huh? Apple has lots of older System versions for download, and it's
not that hard to find more recent versions of MacOS used.
For various uses, MacOS 9 can be a really nice computing environment.
I still consider my PowerBook 165c my favorite Macintosh, though. I
even have a little SCSI ethernet pod that works with it. (a bunch of
them, actually)
Still if you need a specific machine $10 plus shipping
isn't that
bad (even that is probably not worth Sellams time to box up).
The problem with $10 mac's is $0 software. With a old PC you could
steal DOS and BASIC from good old Gates. :) They still may be
usefull for parts like CRT's and 68000's for the really old mac's.
