Macintosh IIcx (1989)

There’s something quietly iconic about the IIcx: a workstation-era Mac that looks restrained, tidy, and confident. Same 68030-era muscle as its bigger sibling, but in a slimmer case that feels more “designed” than “industrial.”

Motorola 68030 @ 16 MHz — fast, serious, and very late-80s pro

3× NuBus slots — enough room for real expansion without the huge tower vibe

Memory monster potential — 30-pin SIMMs, built to scale up

Remember: behind every robot that turns evil is an engineer who specifically installed red LEDs into the eyes just for this occasion

[lytefoot]

Listen, that is a mandatory safety feature. This is like saying, "Behind every building that starts on fire, there's an architect who specifically installed a fire alarm for just this occasion." Yeah, of course.

If the eyes didn't turn red when the robots turned evil, that wouldn't stop it turning evil, it would just mean you don't have any warning!
