1993, it was my mothers former LC. She got a new Performa 475, and I took over the LC. Heaven! :) But I had of course been wanting my own mac since 1984.

How did you hear about RetroMacCast?
I found it on iTunes searching for "Mac" in the podcast dir.
I uploaded the application 'Welcome !' to edit the System 7 Startup message with to the Mac...garden;

You really should try ResEdit too, as Damian must have done. I made the Finder for 7.5 'polite' - "Do you really want to...[empty the Paperbasket]". You should have an external drive to start the concerning machine up with and always remember to keep a copy of the original file. Take a litte application (like 'UltraDice') and make a Swedish version for your own pleasure, search for the 'STR'-resources and GO !
Hey Claes, I saw two of those Addiators on eBay that are just like mine. And, there were a few others that were a little more elaborate. The one's like mine were between 6-10 dollars. Not a bad deal.
