Is the Macintosh 128k still obsolete?

Do you think the Macintosh 128k is still obsolete? Well in some cases, yes. Although America Online would still work! In other sense, if could be still useful, such as writing a document, doing a spreadsheet, making or playing games, or even do drawing! If you do or would own one, how would YOU use it today?

You could probably still access the internet on it with a shell account and an AsanteTalk bridge going between LocalTalk and Ethernet...

At the moment, the software I need for my 128K is on my G4. Need to hunt down the USB floppy drive, so I can at least get everything to my IIci, where I can do the necessary conversion to 400KB floppies...

Depends....

What do you want to do with it?

Write a document or a book? Balance your Check Book....

Then yes and if it still works, then it's not obsolete. Just remember you may be swapping disks about 40 times to make a copy...

It does boot faster than my Lenovo Thinkpad with Windows 7 from work....

Now if your goal is to get on the internet and watch you tube videos, then yep... Its obsolete...

But if you have a spare Mac 128 you are giving away, I'll take it Wink
