AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

>> FORWORD

Please don't make any assumptions, but READ the (full) accompanying text – and look at (all) the photos "very carefully" to avoid disappointments.

Being an Apple enthusiast, I have collected RARE and VALUABLE hardware and software for my co-sentimental Apple companions. The lucky Macintosh Apple enthusiast can supplement his/her collection with this legendary collector's item: the "original BLACK Eighties "Targus" MacBag [for 128k, 512k, Plus, SE or Classic] ” – that gives you a glimp of Apple's history.

My father came home from work one day in 1984 carrying this bag. He set it on the dining room table, unzipped it, and pulled out something that would impact my entire life from that moment!

// Original BLACK Eighties "Targus" MacBag [for 128k, 512k, Plus, SE or Classic]

This rare sought-after item is a must-have for anyone already owning a 4Mb Macintosh. But it's also perfect for any Apple Macintosh enthusiast looking to show off their love for Apple products.

PS/ you can fit a 128k, 512k, Plus, SE (or SE/30) or Classic (or Classic II) with a keyboard, mouse, and even an external hard drive with some space left over to carry a few manuals. Bag is BLACK in color and is in great condition.

This is an original with "Apple" brand logo (not the cheaper nameless version – PS/ be aware: they're sold too).

FYI: next week I will auction a BEIGE MACBAG for PLUS (stay tuned in).

// Purpose

The "original MacBag" was made for an early Apple to be transported, even as a carry-on on a plane. It has pockets all over it (e.g. mouse compartiment), and it's weighty constructed. The solid zippers still working in 2024 (40 years later).

The transport bag was designed for the original Macintosh. Apple used to have a "Test Drive a Macintosh" program where you could walk into a store and walk out with the computer for a day - this made it easier.

In this age of laptops people forget that there was a huge market for so-called "transportable" computers. The original Macintosh was specifically designed to be relatively easy to transport, at least by the standards of the day. You wouldn't take it class, but you might bring it home from work for some evening productivity. Or you'd take it home from school over the holidays.

Today (2024) the "tote carry bag" is ideal for storing and protecting your vintage computer case – and ideal for SAFE transportation.

// What is auctioned?
