I capped off a month of great Mac conquests with this one...I didn't think things could get any better after a conquest of two Colour Classics and an SE/30 followed by tons of software...but I was able to top it!

2 Classics

1 SE

1 Quadra 700

1 12" LC Monitor

1 Apple IIe Card

1 PowerBook 170

1 Broderbund Jam Session

1 Mac Bag

1 After Dark for Windows

1 Math Blaster for Windows

1 Unopened StyleWriter Cartridge (Apple, no less)

1 Mac Addict CD (number 2, actually)

And...

...the...

....best...

...of them all.........

A Mac SE Prototype!!! It has an untextured case, no markings on the ports, no Apple logo, the indent for the logo of a 512, and a serial number starting with F648, meaning it was made in early December 1986. Pictures will come soon, I promise. It works too...I have it on as I type this and want to run MacEnvy on it to see what it recognizes it as...and it says it's an SE. It's got 4MB RAM and a 20MB hard drive installed, though it looks like the hard drive was added later just from the front. The case itself has some wear and tear but I've never seen anything like this one before.

UPDATE: The regular SE included a set of system disks. The version on them was 6.0.1, which I understand is very rare!!!

Edit: The disk had System 6.0.2 on it instead of 6.0.1. Looks like Apple just didn't change the label on the disk...but at least it's still an obscure label variety.
