CNET Networks' TechRepublic runs a regular feature called "Dinosaur Sightings" in which it takes a nostalgic look at vintage computers. CNET News.com is publishing this excerpt.
The Apple Mac Classic is one of the most famous and easily recognisable personal computers ever manufactured. First introduced in 1990, the Mac Classic was Apple's low-end under-$1,000 computer, which made it very popular with the education market.
In the next few weeks, we'll be Cracking Open this classic computer to examine what makes it tick.

Haha! oh man, i remember those things from when I was in primary school. I used to go to school early and go to the library (the only place with student access computers) and play Treasure Mountain till school started.
Ah memories.
