Awesomest Donation Box E.V.E.R.
We took a 512K Mac (yes, kids, there was a time when memory was measured in kilobytes) and converted it into a donation box for PeaceNiche/T2F. This particular Mac shipped in September 1984; thanks Zak for hanging on to it all these years and for donating it to PeaceNiche.
Slip money in through the floppy drive slot and two things will happen:
1. You’ll feel warm and fuzzy inside, having contributed to a non-profit organization that delivers an intelligent alternative to consumption, mindlessness, and television.
2. You’ll get goosebumps being this close to a vintage Mac. In 1982, at a small party, Steve Jobs got his band of renegade developers to sign their names onto a piece of paper. The signatures were then engraved into the Macintosh mold and the team’s autographs were permenantly impressed into the case of every Mac that rolled off the production line. Check out all the signatures …
OK, enough Apple folklore, now cough up some cash and help us keep PeaceNiche/T2F running.
My first Mac couldn’t have found a better home ….or purpose.
a beautiful gift and well presented, thank you zak it looks so beautiful and holy :)
oh that looks pretty for the task.
it is the cuuuutest :)
fell in love with it on sight :)
Am thrilled that everyone loves the Mac. The Mac now needs to FEEL the love and this will only happen when legal tender interacts with the plastic case.
