A Look Back
Ah, the days where a computer with a beige finish was all the rage and a 9” screen was something to brag about. Yes, I’ve just bought a Mac SE 5011 from Ebay. Why? I haven’t quite worked out a good reason but it was made around the time I was born so it’s almost vintage…
Yes, a Mac SE 5011. As detailed by Low End Mac it was the first Mac to have a built in fan and sported a hefty 8Mhz processor. The system running on it at the moment (I think) is about 6.0.x. I’m planning to reboot it with a new copy of System 6 to see just how it used to be done. All I need to find now is a USB floppy drive that’ll support the correct discs. Anyway, here it is in all its beauty. More shots to come of it running.
Oh and thanks to Chris who was a real help lugging it back home! I owe you a pint!
