I bet some classic mac users might come out of the woodwork if we posted here. 
 
I started out working at my college bookstore on Mac Pluses running Farallon's 
PhoneNet network. We had a couple of Laserwriters and wired the Macs to an old 
McDonnell Douglas midrange computer using Red Ryder terminal software. Some of 
my first BBSing was dialing out with that kit when I should have been working. 
 
I had a Lisa - it was running underneath my desk acting as a mail server with 
its expansive 5 MB hard drive. 
 
Later on, I worked at Berkeley Systems, the After Dark screen saver folks, and 
they were hardcore Mac. I had my favorite system ever, an old IIci with a cache
card, loaded with RAM and external hard drives. That system never crashed.
