Not much is known about this. It appears to be a sales tool for the Macintosh SE. The only label on it states:

Here is the latest edition to my vintage Mac collection, a Mac SE/30 mini. Great little computer, light weight, paper thin and very portable. The only problem is that when I type a long letter I have difficulty reading the sentences because the type is so small. However, for a little computer, it is very fast. With my Hayes 300 baud modem I can quickly check bulletin boards for OS updates. I read on the Homebrew Computer Club bulletin board that Apple is coming out with OS/8. I wish Apple would get into the MP3 player business. We sure could use an MP3 player better than Sony's Walkman. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see what the future brings. Wonder if I should buy Apple stock? It's only $5.00 a share. Nah, it probably won't go up. I think I'll buy Enron instead.

Here is a second shot of my Mini Mac. Luckily, I was able to find a copy of "The Little Mac Book" to use as a reference guide. The only thing left to do is find a retailer who sells tiny disks to fit in the disk slot. I think I'll try Radio Shack. I heard they came out with a new TRS-80 Mini. RS probably sells tiny disks compatible with my little Mac. Wonder if they sell the new Epson FX 85 Mini printer? That would be great.

Macintosh IIsi (M0360) with Macintosh Color Display (M1212), AppleDesign Keyboard (M2980) and MacAlly mouse. Installed System 7.1.
This was my first Mac. I just brought it out of storage a few weeks ago and now use it as an immense paper weight on my desk at work.

I had one of the first 128K Macintosh computers in Eugene, Oregon and while I did a lot of writing with MacWrite, I also did a lot of "drawing" with MacPaint.
MacPaint was written by Bill Atkinson (one of the core members of the original Macintosh team at Apple) who added lots of fun touches to all of his early software. MacPaint had various distortions and to be honest, I can't remember which one was responsible for this image (maybe "invert" and/or "trace edges"). I didn't draw this; instead I drew some random shapes and chose what would now be called a "filter" and this was the result. It delighted me to no end and I made hundreds of these which I printed on my ImageWriter dot matrix printer.
I'm posting this now because I'm cleaning our basement and found boxes and boxes of old Macintosh related keepsakes, including some of my old writing and drawing done on my first Mac (not my first computer but close).
I had to run upstairs and pop an antihistamine; between dust and mold it was like an archeological dig.
"The innovative Macintosh--Apple’s second attempt at a GUI-based personal computer, following the failure of the Lisa--was a small, self-contained personal computer with a much-improved, Alto-like graphical desktop. Graphic designers, artists and educators quickly adopted it."
This is the Mac Mini I'm planning on using as a development server. I spent a few days installing software with a keyboard/monitor/mouse and now it's running as a "headless" server on the home network, administered entirely via ssh.
I bought Jonna a new iMac to replace her desktop which was about 10 years old and could barely run Windows XP.
At the time of its release, the PowerBook 3400c was the fastest portable computer in the world. My PowerBook 3400c is running Mac OS 8.6.
This prototype model, created by Apple Industrial Design Group and Matrix Product Design, dates from 1989 during work on the Macintosh LC.
The model has the usual slot for a 3.5 inch floppy in the front, but has a vertically-oriented screen not used on any production models. Considering the screen orientation, this could have been a prototype for a model targeted toward the business world, rather than the artistic, publishing and educational markets that the Mac traditionally attracted.
The painted foam item is 14 x 9 x 10 inches.
This is one of the few clear case prototypes known to exist. There were usually 10 or less clear case prototypes of each model made during the design process. They were used by engineers to check for fit of internal components.
Nearly all plastic case components are clear plastic, including the handle & internal mounts for components. There is no serial number on the case & also none on the motherboard. The colored Apple logo insets are not present, although the space for them is. The case has some very minor differences than the production model (a few extra plastic bits here & there).
