Out of curiosity why did you keep the 8500/180 4 years
longer then the
G4/450? I still have my 8500 running in my room (g3-400, 704MB of RAM)
because it runs OS 7.x apps and hardware very fast.
Hardware and software. I bought a high end sound board with the
understanding I'd be able to move it to the G4/450 when I retired it
from being my main system. Nice theory, but it
didn't work to well
in reality, plus I was unable to move the copy of Bias Peak
that was
on the 8500/180.
The crazy thing is the G4 has been sitting unused under my desk for 4
years, I really need to put it into storage.
I still use my PowerBook 540c occasionally. The 540c was purchased
used to replace a 520c with a dead backlight. The 520c was purchased
new and was my first Mac.
