Is it me or
does the SE/30 just radiate good karma? There's just something
about it that makes it incredibly pleasant to use, even when its being
grumpy (and mine's about as grumpy as they come).
It's definitely a karma thing. I have a Performa 200, which is the
SE/30's grandchild (sort of). I am definitely pre-disposed to
upgrading it, and using it for 'interesting' stuff. I recently
picked up a monochrome SCSI scanner for it at a thrift for $10.00!
The computer can hold 10Mb of ram max, I think. I really like it.
It just works (as long as I remember to plug the SCSI terminator in).
Ah, this is one of the two reasons I didn't replace my SE/30 with the
Colour Classic I got originally. The SE/30 can have a max of 32Mb of RAM,
mine has 17Mb. Also, I found out that despite the fact they've both got
68030/16 processors the SE/30 is significantly faster! What can I say, my
SE/30 is one of my favorite computers! I wouldn't mind haveing one of the
68040 upgrades, but for what I use it for, it doesn't even need it, it just
plain screams along (thanks in part to the proper choice of software).
