I'm very fond of the Plus. That was a heck of a computer in it's day, and
even long after it's day. The Plus can be upgraded to 4 megs of Ram, which
is a good idea. You'll need to snip a resistor if you do this, so it
recognizes the 4 megs.  You can even run an old web browser on it, though
it's slow and crashes.

I have a lot of the Apple IIs: II+, IIe, IIc, IIc+, IIgs;  Apple ///, many
atari's, a couple of Amigas, lots of TRS-80's from the teensie ones to the
huge ones with 8" floppies. Several Commodores, and a few odds and ends. Oh
yeah, LOTS of compact Macs. I have a stack of SE/30's, several original 128K
Macs, two Color Classics- I think I have at least one of each, though I'm
trying to thin out the herd. Also a Lisa, that's the most valuable of them.
I couldn't afford these when they were new, now I get 'em for a dollar or
two apiece.
