don't remember the model but got one in 95 because my school forced me to buy one (my school was like 90% mac, 10% PC, this is pre-internet explorer explosion).
i remember it had 8 meg of RAM which i upgraded to 16. ha ha.

Since i had access to them all during school, i suffered with a hand-me-down PC at home (just for checking my email). Finally, about 2.5 years ago, i got the 14 in. loaded iBook. Her name is Lenore.
Then a few days after this Thanksgiving, we got the new iMacs at work, so my boss let me take home my old work computer (G3 tower and 20 in. monitor). Slower than dirt, but I'm hoping to change that.

What un-wonderful memories...

hahaha, seriously tuig. Our new computers are so much faster than what we were using that the bosses were concerned we'd start losing money because we can't factor the slowness of our computers anymore into our bids.
:P

Hey Kona, BurgerKing sells the Whoppers. Not the Macs. So, you had a Whopper and then decided it was inferior once you beheld a bigMac? Or, had a Whopper and it was the gateway burger to BigMacs?

Your Quadra 950 is now worth $40 (US).
Seems a bit high?
- ebon0
i wouldnt pay $40 for it.
i prob wouldn't sell it for $40 either. i dont use it but it's still around for some reason.
