We have some old cryptic computers at the shop I work at. A lot of them are just old Apples and Apple IIs, most that are still text command interface. I found an old Mac (dunno the model or year) that at least had GUI but I found the back up discs for it.....87 floppy A's ...........to back up that little Mac. Makes me giggle because I can back up my mother in laws Mac Mini onto one of my flash drives and stick it in my pocket. As for what they're doing today...they make excellent tables. Excellent. Superb. Only the best from Apple.

I have a Mac Plus that came out in 1986. 4 Megs RAM. Still works perfectly and gets on the net with Dial Up. Run an old version of AIM and Eudora. Amazing for it's time.

Many props to your Mac Plus for still working 21 years later enough to support internet and IM.

My oldest Mac is in my signature... Actually, my iPod is older than my Mac. I'm not what you would call a life-long Mac user.

My oldest mac is my LCII... It worked w/ some old aol dial up on the internet but rarely used. Its since been completely retired as it started flashing the sad mac logo after I messed around putting a powermac g3 hd into it... 
I just noticed that we have the exact same mac/iPod setup!
My oldest is a TiBook 667
Ah, the TiBooks are nice!
