the old admin computer is now in pieces on the floor in the library. it collected dust for years. a /lot/ of dust. disassembling it made me wax nostalgic. apple was experimenting with designs that were easy to open and tinker with. this was an early and largely unsuccessful attempt. it has many little plastic latches and hinges. the whole thing unfolds like some sort of bizarre kid's puzzle box. the next generation was vastly superior. pull a trap door style latch and everything falls out. i remember joe opening a new one at macworld while an apple guy was giving a demo with it. i wonder if the computer recycling place would like me to re-assemble the puzzle box before dropping it off.
