I have two and they are presently acting as bookends for some zip drives. >> If we're talking about anything with an 040 processor...I love my "new" Performa 638CD, obtained free with a TV card in it! Use it as my bedroom TV, and even got a generic universal remote to work with it. Remote works fine, except when I press the power-off button on it, I get the "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" window, so I have to get out of bed to press the return key to shut it down. Any work around for this?(ResEdit? some pref I can't think of?). Of course I could just mute the sound with the remote and let it go to sleep along with me, but I like to conserve electricity. Or, I suppose I could get the Energy Saver control panel to shut it down at a specific time. My first computer after graduating from a Mac Plus was a Quadra 800. Loved it and used it as my main computer for years. Even after I got a PPC, I networked the Q800 with it, though gave up on that when I got a video card to use 2 monitors on the PPC. Brought it to where I spend weekends to use it there. Then i bought another Q800 locally on eBay for $11, which came with max RAM, a nice 2gb HD, an external Syquest drive, and a 15in. MS monitor. I discovered when I got it home that it had an Apple PPC card in it, and since it was in better shape, I replaced the old Q800 with this one. Sadly, with all the PPCs I've collected, I have now retired the Q800. Wish I had more than just a tiny apartment, or I'd set everything up and use all the Quadras(800, 700, Powerbook 540) frequently. Hope I haven't gone on too long reminiscing! Saul Broudy -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
