I have an old G3 "Power PC" Performa that I keep in my basement, hooked up to an old HP laser printer. I use to it to retrieve old floppies and zip disks, as well as to print out some of my old drawings made with Claris CAD. It is still running on system 8. The case and general workmanship on these old Performa's appears to be better than my aluminum G5, but of course, that old work horse is slower than molasses. Neal Hammon
