Just had a read of my conquest page for the TAM: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/13420-twentieth-anniversary-macintosh-hail-to-the-king-baby/

Wow, can't believe how much of an old man I was with Macs back then.  Max RAM and Ethernet, that's all I wanted.  Fast forward 12 months, and I was well on the way to a full upgrade!  I have no idea why I was so resistant, but I'm so glad I changed my mind.  It has changed the TAM from cool to awesome.

I can actually use it now without delays or issues, and look forward to the next time I can give it a go.
