Sure makes page scrolling a bit sluggish, even on my 2.8GHz QuadCore i7 iMac. But I still appreciate the detail nonetheless. All too often when I really want to see the detail on a photo it turns out to be too small. No worries about that with these pics!
Thanks for the photos though. You've got a very interesting old machine!
We Mac enthusiasts were pretty crazy back in the day, but those prices were the going rate on cutting edge tech at the time. When I was old enough to buy a computer outright, with my own money, I landed myself a Mac IIvx in 1992. Sadly, it was one of the most short lived Macs that Apple produced, and crippled by a slow bus that made it inferior even to the IIci. (Suffice it to say, I'm not into buying lottery tickets.) Not long thereafter I purchased a Quadra 650 logic board for a cool $1000. I was by no means wealthy either. Something just drove me to scrimp and save to buy what I felt at the time was a great computer. But my upgraded Quadra 650 machine was a workhorse, let me tell you. I brought it to Japan with me when I moved there from California in 1994, and I eventually sold it to the Japanese company I worked for (around 1997, I think), for $1200 (equivalent in Yen). They bought a FAX card for it, and it served them 24/7 for many years. In fact, I think it may still be in service!
