Rick VA3DSO@amoroso The first time I came across a Macintosh (which I had never heard of before) was at a computer camp in around 1985. I remember being fascinated with the GUI, the mouse, but most impressively, the little hard floppy disks that would auto eject! It felt worlds away from my Commodore VIC-20!
I still have my first Apple - a Mac SE FDHD from 1987!

I really enjoyed browsing the BMUG's CD-ROM and discovering early 80s art made in MacPaint, so I browsed all 18,000+ MacPaint images on Discmaster to see what gems I can unearth. Here is some what I found.

@OnceUponAGoblin @Markus I still have one of these in my closet that I got in 1994! And it still works!
Space RogueThe hard drive might be bad and I don’t have any floppies to test with but the fact that it gets this far and seems to be all original is pretty amazing. #MacSE #retrocomputing #retromac
I cracked the SE. The case is a little marred so someone has been in here before and there was one screw missing. But the battery has not leaked yet! Date on the hard drive is from 1988! Not to dusty inside either. Will blow it out and give it a quick power on to test it. #macSE #retrocomputing
I am way more excited about these now that I have them home, very glad I didn’t balk at what I thought was a high, but was actually a low price. My old SE, later upgraded to an SE/30, was really my first computer. Feels so good to have one again. These are supposed to both work. I will crack them open later today and check on the batteries. #MacSE #retrocomputing
Starring the ComputerThe film "Ted K" about the life of the Unabomber has a scene set in a computer store. In that you can see an Apple Macintosh, a Commodore Amiga 1000 and an Amiga 2000 and an IBM PC XT, PC AT and PS/2 Model 50/70. Later there is a scene in a library where an Apple Macintosh SE can be seen.

35 years ago today, this beautiful machine came into my life.
This photo was taken in 2011, two years before I sadly gave it away (due to a rushed interstate move).
