Fonaplats victim of incest [daylong jump-start that nome]

I am not an Apple/Mac guy.
In fact I've never used one in my life.
This afternoon I saw this listing pop up and I knew for that price there was little to lose.
All in all I'm out $68 with the cost of gas.

It's really clean on the outside but I can see plenty of dust on the inside.
Currently I don't feel safe running it with the internal condition of the machine being unknown.

I plan to do some research on it and maybe get some software if that's what it needs.
More than likely I'll sell her at some point as I'm just not sexually attracted to her..

The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

I let an AI watch your video

If your Macintosh SE is displaying a floppy disk icon with an X on it when you turn it on, it likely means that the system cannot find a valid startup disk. The loud noise you're hearing might be related to a failing or misaligned floppy disk drive. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. **Check the Floppy Disk:**
- Make sure there is no floppy disk in the drive.
- If there is a disk, remove it and try restarting the computer.

2. **Try a Different Floppy Disk:**
- If you have another bootable floppy disk for the Macintosh SE, try using it to see if the issue persists. The original disk might be damaged or corrupted.

3. **Inspect the Floppy Disk Drive:**
- Open the case of the Macintosh SE and inspect the floppy disk drive for any obvious issues such as loose cables or disconnected components.
- Check for any foreign objects that might be obstructing the movement of the disk drive mechanism.

4. **Clean the Disk Drive:**
- Floppy disk drives can accumulate dust over time, leading to read errors. Use a can of compressed air to blow out any dust from the disk drive.

5. **Check the Internal Battery:**
- The Macintosh SE has a built-in battery that may have expired. A dead battery can cause issues with system settings and might be contributing to the problem. If the battery is easily accessible, consider replacing it.

6. **Check for Other Hardware Issues:**
- Inspect other internal components for signs of damage or loose connections. Pay attention to the sound you mentioned, as it could indicate a problem with a fan or other moving parts.

7. **Seek Professional Assistance:**
- If the issue persists and you're not comfortable performing further troubleshooting or repairs, it may be best to seek the help of a professional technician or someone with experience in vintage Macintosh systems.

Remember that the Macintosh SE is a vintage computer, and finding replacement parts or support may be challenging. If the problem persists after attempting these steps, it may be worth reaching out to vintage Macintosh communities or specialists for additional assistance.

Cool, part of AMERICAN history. Made in USA computer sWAG

Apple sells millions of iPhones, iPads and Macintosh computers stamped "Made in China." But it wasn't always that way.

The company, which famously started out building computers in a garage in Silicon Valley, once employed thousands of Americans to build its computers in places like Texas, Colorado and California.

In light of today's news that Apple is planning to bring some production of its Mac computers to the U.S., here's a brief look at the company's history in U.S. manufacturing:

1980: Newly public Apple, gearing up for the release of the Apple II, announces plans to open a 150,000 square-foot manufacturing plant in Carrollton, Texas, and a 43,000 square-foot plant in Cork, Ireland.

1981: Apple opens a plant in Singapore to manufacture circuit boards.

1983: Apple opens a highly automated plant in Fremont, Calif., to manufacture the first Macintosh computers. It also said it would shut down a pilot factory in Cupertino, Calif., which made the Lisa computer, and move that production to Carrollton and Cork.

1985: As part of a bigger restructuring that includes 1,200 layoffs, Apple closes three of six manufacturing sites, including the Carrollton site, a site in Garden Grove, Calif., that made keyboards and mouse devices, and a small parts plant in Ireland.

1991: Apple opens a 360,000 square-foot facility in Fountain, Colo., to manufacture subassemblies and finished computers. By 1996, the site employs about 1,100 people.

1992: Apple opens a computer assembly plant in Elk Grove, Calif., moving to an area less prone to earthquakes than its plant in Fremont. The Elk Grove and Fountain plants produce most of the Apple computers sold in North America for several years.

1994: Apple announces plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Elk Grove, adding a 200,000-square foot facility to manufacture logic boards and add 300 jobs.

1996: With its sales slumping and losses mounting, Apple sells its Fountain plant to contract manufacturer SCI Systems. It marks the first time another company manufactures a large number of Apple's computers. SCI agrees to make Macs at the site for three years.

1996: As part of a reorganization, Apple also shifts circuit board assembly from its Elk Grove site to its sites in Singapore and Cork, as well as subcontractors.

1997: Apple sells some circuit board assembly assets from its Singapore plant to a Singapore contract manufacturer. The following year it sells circuit board assembly assets in Cork to the same firm.

1999: Apple cuts 400 of 1,400 jobs at its Cork manufacturing facility, which makes computers for European markets. Subcontracts production of iMacs to a plant owned by LG Electronics in Wales.

2004: Apple shuts down its last U.S. manufacturing line in Elk Grove, laying of 235 full-time workers. By this time most of Apple's manufacturing takes place at factories in China. Many are operated by subcontractor Foxconn, a unit of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which also assembles its iPhones and iPads.

Fonaplats victim of incest [daylong jump-start that nome]

I've been doing a bit of research into my Macintosh and found it is is a nice little gem.
Unfortunately I am unable to make any software for it due to hardware limitations on my end.
Went ahead and ordered some 800k floppies with:

System 6.0.8 (800k)

Disk 1 System Tools
Disk 2 Printing Tools
Disk 3 Utilities 1
Disk 4 Utilities 2

I'd like to find a paint and word program but I'll start with what's above.

Hopefully I can get it cleaned out real good so it's got the best chance in working properly once I get the disks.
If everything works as it should I'll be sure to upgrade it fully to 4mb of memory and I'll probably install a hard drive using an ide to sd card reader.

It's a beautiful machine and is growing on me.
I think I'm falling in love.
