It's been discontinued for 31 years.
It was only sold for two years, nine months, and two days.
Yet to me, somehow, this is still the hottest piece of hardware imaginable. More so than the IIfx, the IIgs, or even the Amiga, let alone anything with Intel or ARM inside.
I only wish I could go back in time twenty years and pursuade myself to pick one up for dirt cheap on eBay.
@RL_Dane Looking at pictures of old computers and playing with their software in emulators, I miss these machines I never had the privilege of using.
The lost days when computers were largely to-the-point and ethical... I hate having to worry about rights-violating engineering, updates, vulnerabilities and remote controlling. Ack!

Absolutely! It's so sad that the 40-year-old computers are starting to drop like flies, and some chips are very hard to replace.
The 16-bit era will be even more painful, because Classic Macs didn't come with motherboard schematics. Their innards are far less well-understood than the Apple ][ and C=64.
And worrying about the company behind the product ending security updates. They always seem to end too soon
