One thing I didn't expect is the involved model
and OS requirements
for various bits of software. I thought that the idea was that one
didn't have to engage in the upgrading game on a Mac like PC people
do. From what I've seen thus far, if anything, the Mac world seems
to be almost worse in that respect.
Macs are very stabile machines, for their era and software version. This
is an advantage - doesn't lock-up as much as windows - but is an advantage -
there aren't much things you can do with a classic mac beyond showing it up.
I have a Mac 128 which is a nice conversation piece - you can do just
nothing on that. There are no network, hard disk or like ports. But it is a
nice puter anyways :)
I have a 9500 upgraded to a G3 and I'm desperate in need of more memory
for it, I'd exchange that for some exclusive brazilian gear if someone is
interested.
