Well, most of the branches of Bank o' America 
here in Washington seem to have an awful lot 
of old Macintoshes.  I'm not talking Performas 
here ..., nor am I talking Mac Classics or 
SE/30s. I'm talking Mac Plus.

I don't know what they use them for, but I've 
noticed they've begun 'upgrading' them -- to 
Dells (see 
http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/joyarchiv
es/300.html)

Heh.

Interestingly, I've never seen anyone actually 
use one, now that I think about it ....
