I'm sorry if I've posted this here before, because in that case ... well ... here it is again!

This is a color photograph made in 1910 CE by Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky.  It's not a black-and-white photograph which has been colored after the fact:  It's a genuine color photograph.  You can see more of Prokudin-Gorsky's pioneering photography — and discover his technique — at....

The Empire That Was Russia: The Prokudin-Gorskii Photographic Record Recreated (A Library of Congress Exhibition)
The photographs of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) offer a vivid portrait of a lost world--the Russian Empire on the eve of World War I and the coming revolution. His subjects ranged from the medieval churches and monasteries of old Russia, to the railroads and factories of an emerging industrial power, to the daily life and work of Russia's diverse population.

A large collection of Prokudin-Gorsky's photographs can be found at Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky - Color Photographs of Russia before the Deluge: Index 1 of 159.  A good summary of his life and work is located at Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I've been compared to Balalaika quite a few times for some reason.  Probably for my service as a Captain with the Войска дяди Васи in the 50's.

Like Stew said, it's a Mac SE (FDHD version),
and if configured, YES, it can get internet.
I've had it since I was little.

The older speakers have pretty solid sound quality and way better volume.  I still think my 95 machine had the best speakers of any computer I've ever owned.  That's had speakers.
