@ChanceHMiller love this kind of stuff. Reminds me of the early days of apple retail. People would always bring fun stuff and tell great stories back in the day.

@ChanceHMiller I believe that is not a Mac SE but a Mac Plus. The Mac SE had two floppy drives and a grey color. Only the original Mac, fat (512K) and Mac Plus had one drive and that ivory color.

@EricFielding @ChanceHMiller Looks like a Mac SE model M5011 to me.

Almost looks like an SE/30, except it appears the computer name is below the floppy drive rather than on the left by the logo.
