Having been a long time member of the Macintosh Garden (over ten years), it was a great pleasure to sign-up to this wonderful site. My first Mac was indeed a System 7 Colour Classic II, bought in 1993 when I returned to university. By sheer coincidence, the college that I attended was the School of Slavonic & East European Studies (now part of UCL), a small institution that ran entirely on Macs and my Colour Classic II (shipped from Ireland) was something of a sensation, as it was the last of the compact Macs and unusual even at the time. PowerBook 5300, 1400c, PowerBook G3 'Lombard', 'Pismo', Performas and then the more modern iBook, PowerBook G4's, iMacs and MacBook. I'm still using the 'Pismo' most of the time, though the iMac 2009, a PowerBook G4 15" and a MacBook Pro sit on the desk too. Id really like to find another Colour Classic, but the only ones for sale seem extravagantly expensive. Now living and working in Istanbul, where older Macs are even rarer than hen's teeth, but I live in hope of finding another System 7 Mac somewhere in this Oriental emporium... |

Welcome to System 7 Today, adrianrmarsh! Always interesting to read about people's individual history with System 7. That must have been a really cool time over at the Mac college! ;-) I've never seen a Colour Classic II but I know many considered it "Compact Macs finally done right". I've been reading reports that it was only released in Japan - but you got yours from Ireland? Unfortunately, Color Classics are probably about the most sought-after Macs these days and your location doesn't raise the chances of finding one for a fair price. (no, ebay prices are just inflated ...) Anyway, I hope you'll stick around and share your System 7 experiences & know how with us :-)
