The second one also worked, although the right hinge was completely frozen up, and it came broken apart. The display cable was fine and the left hinge is doing double duty. This was a student's seminary computer.

The first one I opened works a-ok with an external screen. 20MB and its original HD works. Looks like someone's college computer, and had a website in cache from 1999-2000!

Quick detour: the search function works well but our fun ended quickly

The third one kind of looks like a IIc, right? Anyways it's full of caked nasty battery dust, but it only seemed to affect the plastic. 20MB, no HD.

@thomasfuchs right? Almost all computers don't fit it properly though...our first computer, an LCII, was on one of these and it was always awkward.

Not a lot of Mac stuff lately because we have ripped our kitchen apart to (among other things) put in a dog door 😁
Guinan was very excited about it all day!

The 1400c/166 has proven itself as a capable coffee table gaming rig all week 😊
This chonker is in near mint shape...no shiny spot on the trackpad or spacebar, and barely used given the HD contents. 16MB RAM and whatever super slow HD was stock at the time. My impression is that it was bought on super-sale at the end of the run, and gifted to a student who barely used it. The 'c' is a real treat compared to the 'cs'!

@mac84tv lol somehow none!! I cranked the memory up to 6000 and forgot to change down from millions of colors. The only thing it wouldn't do is flip/rotate without turning the object into a black box. To be fair I only tried the desert background. Will try to crash it now 😅 (since imaging this PB1400 hard drive is giving me lots of time!). Quicksilver G4 / OS9

Question: how would you get this PowerBook 160 to boot with its main screen as the external monitor? If I made a bluescsi HD image with the correct monitor selected on a similar functioning PowerBook, would the setting stay with the HD or is it a PRAM thing? Or is there a secret keyboard command for mirroring?

Question! Does anyone know if there is an extant macpaint file of the iconic hello?
