Sitting on my desk constantly reminding me what timeless compute (it can still receive software updates for OSX Tiger it runs) and timeless design (need I say more) is.

The arm holding the monitor was the weak point on those machines. They all seemed to droop after a while. Fixing the problem was near impossible.

Counter point - mine still holding strong after 20 years.

Same, I have two of them and the arms are holding up fine. I keep them in the fully-vertical position most of the time, to reduce strain on the arm (though I'm not sure how it works internally).

This happened to mine... am sad.

More anecdata -- mine's still great, bought when first released, in use till recently.

// But now turned off and reboxed along with an Apple //c, SE/30, the cube, the first Intel cheese grater, etc. Someday...

It's the most beautiful Mac ever made. I hope they reuse this design one day.
