Amen.  And my 75mhz 603 runs every app I want, from web apps to Marathon
Infinity just fine thank you.  If mine can run fine, so could a 200mhz 603e.
 So all you spoiled 604 users should just shut up and be thankful us low-end
users exist.  Without us, the Mac would be no different than a workstation. 
Expensive, not a lot of software because the hardware is expensive, not in
many homes because the hardware is expensive, not many advances because
there's no money for developement becasuse the hardware is expensive, etc.
etc. etc.

Sure, you can afford a 604, but that's partly because the PPC market is
backed up by it's low-end cost friendly chips most users have in the
computer sitting in their den.  We keep the cash flowing in the chip maker's
pockets just like you do.  Maybe that's why they still write software which
will run on my slow computer.
