Lost Treasures (was: Cray-1) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

1 May 1998

 Funny you should mention the Macquarium. Yesterday on my way home I 
 stopped at a used computer store and found a Mac Plus Macquarium with 
 the original documentation dated 1992 (a mere $60.00 for a butchered 
 Mac... I wouldn't buy one because I don't think it's cute and don't 
 want to encourage this practice). The top of the case had been quite 
 roughly gouged out, a glass tank fitted inside the case. I'd seen this 
 on the web before but thought it was a joke.....

 Hmm, a list of computers that look good enough to display as art?  Here's 
 mine (most are laptops):

 IMSAI 8080
 GRiD Compass
 Ampere WS1
 MINDSET PC (good enough for MOMA, anyway) 
 NeXT Cube
 eMate 300  
 Of course you guys have heard of converting a Mac into a fish tnak?
