I suspect (and forgive me here if I'm speaking out of turn, pickle), that
his comments on insanity were ruefully directed to the price of the PPC
upgrade card vs. the actual worth of said card.
Last time I checked, the cheapest retail version I saw of any of the 601
cards was $199 IIRC. Even on eBay, they routinely go for more than $100. At
that point, you're getting close to the market price of an early iMac, and
certainly comparable to a Power Mac 5400, both of which offer very
significant advantages over anything stuffed into a CC case or running a
601, or without the option for an IDE/ATA drive, or, of course, without a
monitor bigger than a CC.
Basically, he's saying, if you want to spend the money to do that for a
lark, go ahead; it's your money. But you're a nut. In a lovable, Macaddict,
kind of way :)
Cheers,
Rich
