What years does your MAC collection cover ? I started a couple of years
ago to collect one of each model (103 total) made from 1984 to 1995. I
have 63 different models right now and have list of 39 more models to
get. My latest find was a IIvi (it will make # 64) in Canada and I'm
waiting on it to show up in the mail any day now. That has been a hard
model to find, as has been the Color Classic II (still looking). I
received a 550 in the mail a few months back that was damaged in
shipment, but may have a working MB. I'll see if I can locate it
storage and contact you.
