Marvin:
I have an Apple ][+, a //c, a //gs, a "Fat Mac", an SE/30, a IIci and a
PowerMac (from my mother). I feel that this combination gives me the
broadest cross-platform bridging so I can transfer software back and forth
"across eras" if I need to. The IIci is also connected to my home
network...I have "Services for Macintosh" running on my NT Server so I have
the benefit to large archival space (and of course Internet connectivity on
the IIci). I have Internet Explorer 2.8 running on the ci.

My vote goes for anything in the Apple Lisa line...especially if it's
running LisaOS 7/7. For it's day it was ahead of it's time and it can
trace it's lineage directly to the Xerox Alto. Trip Hawkins (Lisa
Product Manager at the time) said the Mac is a cost reduced version of
Lisa with some of the really advanced stuff cut out (e.g. real
multitasking, VM etc.). Don't forget the Lisa team vs. Mac/Jobs team
development wars...some of these items are archived at folklore.org.
But I'm kind of biased...I'm a huge Lisa fan.

What in the Apple line of computers, etc. is worth keeping, i.e.
hardware, software, documentation, and books? Besides the Apple I, are
there any other "holy grail" type of items?
I have several Apple printers including the Imagewriter and Imagewriter
II. Are these as common as dirt so I don't have to feel bad about
getting rid of them, or are they worth putting up on the Vintage
Computer Marketplace? I *think* the only Apple IIx I don't have is the
orginal Apple II and the "Black" Apple II+, and I would still like to
keep one each of the II line. The only Macs I am keeping are the
original 128K Macs, and maybe one of the 512K machines.
