Yep, that's what I thought. The IIci and third party upgrade solutions for its PDS and NuBus slots were the building-block workstations of the DTP revolution. That explains why Apple released a workable/relatively usable PPC upgrade for it, there was a HUGE, loyal and pro-active prosumer user base for this $-Cow.

I've never been IIvx'd, only having bought 3 new macs from 1987 on:

SE/Radius 16 (that was bundled as such with the MacSignMaker System)

Quadra 630/TV/Tuner Card (which fit so perfectly into the computer desk in the Bedroom Set I'd already built for my son that it was a no brainer) backup/ home workstation for the IIx/Radius Rocket at the shop.

Graphite G4/466 DA, for its increased expandability to replace the ReFurb Performa 6360/Sonnet Crescendo G3 466/1MB that was my main workstation and then became my PlotterServer.

All my new Macs were bought specifically for their options for expandability: processor upgrades, dual-use as a WorkStation-MediaCenter/TV or, in the case of the DA, the additional PCI slot.

I've been luckier than most, or just more conservative, I think I might have a bit-o-Luddite in my makeup! :approve:

OOPSIE! :O Does a remaindered, obsolescent PowerBook 100 count as new? I got that specifically for SCSI Disk Mode!
