Well I have one, and it's a screamer! It was kind of funny, because I got two identical looking computers at once, one was a Performa 636CD as you have, and the other was a Power Mac 6214, which uses the exact same case and hardware set-up. I worked with the PM first, which I believe was running system 8.1, and it ran fairly slow, as does the 6200 I have had for years. Then I plugged in the Performa 636CD, and was absolutely wowed by the speed! I was used to waiting for things to happen, but I didn't have to wait with this system! Then I remembered that when these machines were first made, they were considered awesome, and were very expensive! I am sure, after all the hype of the upgrade, first generation Power Mac buyers must have been disappointed with the performance of the new machines compared to this zippy computer!
Anyway, I obviously love this model! I think you will enjoy using it! If I can help you with anything specific, please email me privately, and I will do whatever I can do. I can help you to upgrade to system 7.5.3 (you should) if you want to. Let me know. This is a great computer for games and education programs for young children too. Congratulations!
