(a Quadra 610) had a clock speed of 25MHz and he asked me if I was sure about 
that

Tell him you know someone whose first computer had 1K of RAM. Yes! One *K*. (In some locales Timex) Sinclair ZX81. My second computer had 3.5K of RAM and featured a whopping 22 characters across the screen. Commodore VIC-20. But the Volkscomputer, the Commodore 64 had a full 64K of RAM and a processor (6502) that smoked at 1MHz. I ran a 99K program on that 64K computer.

when I first went online, in 1997

It was 1983 for me. In '83, Commodore users could get a 300 bps modem for only $100. Most of the people on Q-Link (forerunner of AOL) were C64 users.
