It is kind of an odd duck..:o) >>I always wanted a Mac! >>Alice I've been the proud papa of two C500's. One, zapped by a two-day brownout and left outside for dead, came back to life with no sound. As I'd thrown the case away, I placed it into a Mac IIci case and added a 240Mhz. CPU. The second, this one, has a 280Mhz. CPU, running at 240Mhz., with two $14 64MB RAMsticks off eBay and sits under a 17 inch Mac monitor. Takes a bit of time to boot up with 144MB of RAM but I got all the websurfing power I want. Odd duck? No. I believe Kennedy and crew made just the right kind of Mac Clone. And mine were only about $39 each, too. Best way I know of putting ones self into a relatively modern Mac at relatively modern speeds. Jeff G. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
