Hi, first time posting on lemmy, I hope yall will enjoy my late grandfather's happy lil Mac Plus! Maxed out at 4MB of RAM and modded with power through SCSI and a low rpm fan. That's a fully working ImageWriter on the left. :)

To be fair, maybe an old Mac isn't the most exciting to learn about old technology for kids, as the monochrome screen and limited gaming capabilities really make it a more business-oriented thing, which, boring.
What could be dope if your kid's interested in that kind of thing, is to literally build an 8-bit computer, there's plenty of kits available and it echoes the time when you had to build your own computer if you wanted to have any at home. Super hands-on and educational!
