Apple's Macintosh 128K on a Pi Pico gets thumbs-up from Upton

rwrand

Well done sir!

I bought a 128k Mac in 1984, used, with printer $2800 I think it was, and I understood from the seller who only had it a week that it was the sixth unit off the boat as it were into the States. Sadly I no longer have it. I did real project work on it for a couple of years using Multiplan. It sat next to the IBM AT with 2M of RAM and a 20M Core hard drive (enormous hard drive at the time, system bought used from MIT), which I used for system development work in C, and reports in WordPerfect. I moved spreadsheet work from the Mac over to Lotus 123 and sold the Mac.
