A bad Mac isn't how long it lasted. Instead, I would argue that a longer lasting machine is better--the better built, the longer it would last. Also, the SE lived on, in the SE/30, which is one of the best Macs ever. 128MB of ram in that little baby. I know I love mine. The main reason that the classic is a road apple is that it was, as far as I know, intentionally crippled. An arbitrary RAM ceiling, slower internal parts, etc. Basically, on a pure spec level, crap, even when it was released brand new. -Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
