AAghgghhhh, and you talk about not stealing bits from a beautiful 68k
Mac *sob*, how could you steal the heart from the greatest 68k out
there??? I'd only permit this if a) you didn't know at the time and/or
b) the 840av died in valiant combat. I have one (you might have guessed
by now LOL) and I wouldn't part it out unless someone blew a hole in the
logic board or something.

Hmmm, didn't know you could do that - cool, although unless you do AV
work or want to run everything from RAM Disk (which might take a while
to copy on and off the RAM at start-up and shutdown :).

The 64MB DIMMs are a bit hard to find in the UK, I mean you can get hold
of them but it;s a dicey affair yo say the least as no-one will
guarantee them.
