It's got a motherboard based on the LC Series Macs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Also, is it possible to connect the Color Classic to the internet? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'ts a slow ride on a non-modified Color Classic. It CAN be done. But limited to software uploads/downloads (small files), and email. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > To put in in a nutshell, my only experience with Mac was my SE/30.

The Color Classic has to be classified as a casual use Mac in an unmodified condition. Even modifed, you face the tiny screen without an external monitor adapter. By the time you do ANY of the modifications, you'll have bought yourself a nice early iMac capable of doing a lots more, especially the Photoshop tasks.
