Peck’s Agenda

Last week I received a huge donation of vintage Apple equipment to add to my growing collection of historical Apple items. I already have over 100 hardware items, and 1000 software/print media items, but this donation will add a lot more. The donation consisted of about 20-25 hardware items, and about a hundred software/print media items. Now, Apple has made about 700 products in its 30 year history, most of which are worthless, but this lot was everything but trash. Almost all of the machines are from Apple’s “glory years”, the 1984-1990 era, and include there original Box, with original styrofoam inserts and documentation. Some particularly special items include the ultra-rare PowerCD, and revolutionary LaserWriter (both the original and the II). In my busy life it will probably take a few weeks for me to process and move everything to its final spot, in fact, I now have to re-design my entire basement storage area to accommodate all the new stuff (original boxes take up a lot of room, and you can’t just stack them on the floor!). Check out my flickr photos of the big delivery!   -Mp

Well, it may still feels like school just started, but friday is the end of the mod, or module, which is 1 out of the 7, 5 week class rotations that my school employs. I get 4 days off at the end of each mod, called mod breaks, but this coming one isn’t going to be a relaxing break like they usually are. I have 2 SAT tutoring lessons and homework from each, which is a real pain. There is one exciting event I have to look forward to though. A very generous college professor from Pennsylvania is donating a HUGE lot of late 80’s/early 90’s era Apple equipment to my museum, a total of over 20 rare, (and one New In Box!!) items. I will be sure to take some pictures of the whole event, and post some on the blog!
