And just what's wrong with that?! :-)

I'm *just* on the cusp of replacing my personal 1993 Quadra 660AV,
now that I can get a G3 with:
(1) >10 times the processor speed [1]
(2) 12 times faster CD-ROM
(3) >10 times stock memory
(4) >10 times stock HD 
for less than the 660AV cost.[2]

I *think* I've got my money's worth out of it. :-)

Never mind Moore's Law - I buy new Macs when the "power"
has increased tenfold.

[1] Shame the G3 won't drive the GeoPort at 96K...
[2] Rule #1 of Apple Prices (from 1986-present):
The cheapest Mac is *always* 1,200; the mid-range one is 
*always* 2,000, and the top-end is *always* 4,000.
