ebay, at a cursory glace I see three of them.
The only place that sells Macs are the Apple Stores and they wouldn't keep something like that around. Why do you want something that old?
Because I really like it, and It caught my interest. I was going to Chicago for my birthday, and I know of a flea market that has a wide selection of electronics (mostly old). The reason why I wanted it is because I was looking for an old mac laptop, to experiment/mess around with.Quote:

That's why I want one, just for fun. I bet a flea market and even some antique shops would have something like that at a cheap price.Quote:

I'm sure you'll be able to hunt down some free software, but commercial stuff will be a dead-end
quick google brought up this

you're probably better off wiping system7 off and bunging linux on there if you want to do anything useful
Wow, I remember system 7. Was that before true multitasking except for the Finder?
yeah, system7 (same as most other OS's at the time) used co-operative multitasking which relied on apps co-operating with the OS, and volunteering to give up time to other processesQuote:

It would also help if anyone here knows we're I can get old (working) laptops of any kind. Any suggestions ?
