    Thought I would just leave my mark here as I am currently BBSing on a '84 Macintosh which has been upgraded to a Plus. It has been recapped, Retr0brited, and cleaned inside and out and is working (and looking) as good as it did 37 years ago when it was new. I have been using this thing for over a year now so I am starting to look at other retro computers to branch off to... I have always fancied an Apple II however they're so rare and overpriced nowadays. I'll just have to be patient and snag the next suitable one I find.

    Hope you're all still enjoying your vintage machines!

    Thanks! I am connected via Telnet as I don't have an old modem or anything like that... the computer is connected using a WiFi 232 serial modem which is very easy to use. I have a TRS-80 Model 102 also in close to pristine condition which I have connected to BBSes through another WiFi 232 modem I have.
