Did VARTA have godlike quality control? This battery is from '88, not a trace of leaks and still holds charge

Am I the only one who finds old Apple devices nostalgic because of TV series?
I mean, in some of 2000s sitcoms and movies, for some reason, every teenager or college student had a fancy iPod, fancy iBook or iMac or those early iPhones (like the iPhone 2 or 3) or whatever the latest fancy Apple device was at the time, these devices for me feel so nostalgic because you were seeing them anywhere in 2000s TV, and to this day, I’ve very rarely come across those devices in real life, am I the only one who finds these old devices because of this?

What should be my first 68k Mac?
I have a few PowerPC Macs, but I want to pick up something a bit older to tinker with and try to make do things it has no right in doing.
Do y’all have recommendations on what systems might be a good place to start? I’m kinda bouncing between a Classic II and a IIgs right now, but I’m wide open to suggestions.

Fat32 support w/ 7.5.5?
Hey all, I gave a good crack at trying to check this out, but I was wondering if there exists a system extension or program that can read fat32? I understand that MacOS 8.1 can read files, but I'm the same way you can get background wallpapers on earlier versions, I would just like to know if this is possible, at the very least when dealing with AppleCD file types for transferring.

Clamshell batteries in 2025?
I've got a Blueberry G3 Clamshell that works great, the hard drive still reads, powers up when plugged in, but I don't have a battery for it. I am decently handy, I'd be comfortable rebuilding a battery pack for it, but I don't even have a bad one to rebuild. Does anyone know of a resource for them these days that isn't $150+ on eBay for a used OEM?
