I know the LC 475 is great! Ours used to be in our office, and has 20mb Ram. It runs great (or did) using all types of software. We used them at school too (I'm a primary teacher) and they were absolutely indestructible and easy for teachers to set up. Not like these wretched PC's. My favourite thing about the macs is the way you can just plug them all in together and have an instant network! That was great for staff development! If I could only find an affordable CD drive for it, it would be on a par with my kids' old PC.

Please help! > Don't knock the '040 machines - or apologise for having one. When our school got a LC475 back in 1993/94 (I think) it was the fastest machine (8Mb RAM, 250 Mb RAM). They still run rings around some PPC machines (eg 5260) and thats running OS 8.1 on both. They feel fast, act fast and (running software appropriate for the machine - Word Perfect springs to mind) they are fast. My favorite machines after the iMac, and with years of useful life left in them coz they are so reliable. Oh and they are really nice to use. Meanwhile those 486's from the same period really are nearing the end of their useful lives, not so much due to processor/system inadequacies, but simply because they are wearing out - hard drives/floppy drives and system board failures. Sad, but thats the way it is. > > > Thanks > > once again. I thought I was the only person alive still interested in my old > > Mac. My DH thinks I'm a lunatic.
