Have a few of those myself. Sadly sold the original Mac a few years back, still worked. Sat the 6 year old down with MacPaint and he was making cool art in an hour, good stuff in 2. No instructions given. Kids should be able to start off like that again. Not dumped into the hot mess that modern software is.
That's a good program I'd like to mess around with, but rather do it in color.. only Mac I have running right now is the SE which is only black/white. There's a Mac IIcx motherboard on my bench right now that I'm in the process of trying to restore. Capacitors leaked all over the place. Some of the traces look fucked up from the corrosion, but I tested a few of them for continuity and all of the worst looking traces seem to still be intact. Hopefully I got to this thing in time. Reminds me to get off my lazy ass and put in a Digikey order for the replacement caps. Hopefully when I desolder the old caps, the pads don't come up off with them!
