I worked in Educational Sales at Lexington Computer Store. The entire sales staff got Color Classics as our main workstations (this would have been around 1994). We use FileMaker Pro databases to help us run quotes for clients. We would often $ to B$W mode because it was so much faster than color mode.

I've said that my School ones are in good shape, but now they're gone. My elemtary school is being torn down and replaced with a new one after 87 years in town.

So sad, Of the computer's.....I will never know their fate.

This was my favorite computer I ever owned. I traded it for a PowerPC and I regreted it. This was not a fast computer but it had heart. The footprint was wonderful and for a 10" screen it had lots of work area because the display was so crisp. After more than 10 years away from Macs I am back to using a new iMac Intel. It is a great machine but sometimes I miss my little color classic.

Many people and groups around the world like to super-upgrade Color Classics. It seems quite easy to do. I found a site where a guy had OS 9 and a DVD-Rom drive working with his CC.

I remember using these back in grade 1. These netwerked to dot matrix printer made for one noisy computer class. Typing is clarisworks and playing primitive games. Good times :P

Well, i have to say i used this computer in school before and it's a fairly good computer.

I noticed the ones my school had, normally had bad overheating problems when it occured but otherwise they worked fine and barely got viruses. I believe my school still has them and that's confirmed due to a recent visit....A whole lab full of them still in good shape....
