I couldnt agree anymore about the 4400 mac, have owned one, was a useless piece of junk, two weeks ago, my small powermac 5200 lab each and everyone of those macs died, started with fuzzy video then no video, then their power supplies went :( was a waste of time doing that set up, Im down to a bunch of LC 520, 550, 575, 580 all in ones. So far their batteries are dead, but power up just fine. Anyone have some sorta use for a Quadra 605, her orginal logic board died, so installed a LCIII+ logic board, might offer for a trade of Apple branded imagewriter II printer ribbons figure A six pack of sealed ribbons, for that Quadra, like and even trade.
