I dug out my old Apple MacBook from home to donate to the fledging Department computing museum we're trying to put together. This was bought to write my PhD thesis maybe 16 years ago now and has probably not been booted up in the 21st Century. The screen got damaged and I never used it after work bought me a new laptop. Out of interest I plugged it in and fired it up - it NEARLY booted! First time round I got the OS (System 7.1 IIRC?) loaded but the system hung, and the second time (pictured here) the hard disk wasn't recognised - so has probably stopped spinning. Good try after a decade though!
