I bought a 20th Anniversary Mac for $1999 in 1998, when Apple cleared out its remaining stock (they didn't sell well for $7500, or even for the initial reduced price of $4000, but when the price dropped to $2000 they were gone within days). I used it as my principal word processing machine for the next four years. It was a stunningly beautiful design, and with a 400 MHz G3 processor upgrade it ran at a reasonable speed. Ultimately, the fact that the meager video card couldn't be upgraded, the fact that the 800x600 screen was small and began to lose its brightness, and the fact that it couldn't run OS X led me to give up the TAM in 2003. But I never regretted owning it, and I still miss it sometimes.
