What don't I use them for... That list is smaller My Quadra 650 is my page layout machine - complete with 17" multiple scan display. Has 136mb ram and a 10gb disk. Runs PageMaker and a ton of other titles. This machine is going to need caps soon I suspect because it occasionally has "senior moments."
My quadra 800 is my graphics machine complete with a quad doubler, 80gb disk and a 20" multiple scan display. Runs photoshop, illustrator, mini cad and others and sits right next to my 650. This machine also has a canon FS 7210 film scanner and an apple ColorOnescanner attached. We have a performa 631 with a 15" multiple scan display and a centris 610 with the Macintosh Color Display (my first Mac!) for the kids and they have a ton of games. Both have been maxed on ram but I hear the performa can take more than Apple listed. That machine also has a 30gb disk and the centris has its original 230mb drive (with an external 9.1 gb drive) Those machines print to a LaserWriter Pro 630, StyleWriter 6500 and a HP Designjet 600 for schematics, wiring diagrams etc. I also have a 13" macbookpro that I adore and i have USB scanners and all modern software- I use it with my digital SLR and others. It's a great machine but the others are not broken and still do their tasks flawlessly.
