As slow as they are, and as painful to deal with when used to other
macs, the first mac I used regularly was my sister's 6300 - I put 32Mb
extra in it for 48Mb, and it's 1Gb drive was enough at the time. My
sister worked as a graphic designer at the time and had photoshop,
illustrator and xPress on it - as a transition from old-style computer
user to a mac addict, it worked for me! The machine is having software
problems at the moment with crashes galore on my niece (who uses it now)
and will be coming back to me for a fixing - I'm sure I'll notice the
speed problems in time, but it certainly worked - even if nowhere near
the potential of it's components!
Be well :D
