[comp.sys.mac] Mac IIcx portability/Mac Plus resale value?

davidl@intelob.biin.com (David Levine) (03/09/89)

As you can probably tell from the Subject line, I'm thinking about
getting a new Mac IIcx to replace my old Mac Plus.  So I have two
questions:

1. What are the dimensions and weight of the Mac IIcx and the
monochrome Apple monitors?  (I understand that two new monochrome
monitors were introduced along with the IIcx.)  For comparison, what
are the dimensions and weight of the Mac SE/30 and the Mac Plus?
Is anyone offering a MacBag for the IIcx yet?

2. I'll be selling my current Mac once I have the new machine.  What's
your best guess on the resale value of a Mac Plus (formerly a Fat Mac)
with 2.5 Megs of Apple RAM and a silent internal fan?  The power
supply has been regularly inspected, adjusted, and resoldered when
necessary (bad solder joints being a primary cause of power supply
death).  On the minus side, it still has the old Mac 512 keyboard
(without arrow keys or numeric keypad).

Note that the Mac Plus is not for sale at this time.  When it is for
sale, I will probably find a local buyer and not bother the Net.

Please send responses via mail; I will summarize to the Net if there
is sufficient response.

Oh, I am not sure whether the proper Internet domain for this site is
currently .biin.com or .intel.com.  I apologize in advance for any
mailer errors.  (Spinoffs are such sweet sorrow.)
