Hi, first time posting on lemmy, I hope yall will enjoy my late grandfather's happy lil Mac Plus! Maxed out at 4MB of RAM and modded with power through SCSI and a low rpm fan. That's a fully working ImageWriter on the left. :)

I don't know how I'm going to do it exactly, but I hope to do something similar to this so my son understands that he's living in the future.
To be fair, maybe an old Mac isn't the most exciting to learn about old technology for kids, as the monochrome screen and limited gaming capabilities really make it a more business-oriented thing, which, boring.
What could be dope if your kid's interested in that kind of thing, is to literally build an 8-bit computer, there's plenty of kits available and it echoes the time when you had to build your own computer if you wanted to have any at home. Super hands-on and educational!
