Wow, that's about one of the best uses I have heard of for a 62xx! Last
week, I (unfortunately) had to visit again with my current customer's
Performa 6214CD. He had complained of Netscape being "unbearably slow" on
it... I upgraded the RAM to 64MB and took him down to Netscape 3.0, but it
didn't help *that* much... I then tried to explain to him, as gently and
tactfully as I could, so as not to turn him off to Macs altogether, that the
62xx series were severely crippled in terms of, well, everything, and that
he shouldn't rely on it too much for web surfing. (He has a beige G3 that's
*his* computer; the Performa is his kid's; they also have an LCIII with
36MB, which actually seems faster than the Performa... go figure...)
I know this is way off topic now! Sorry!! :O
(And while we're off topic... This is from the LEM page about the Performa
6200... "32-bit memory" - what exactly does this refer to? Everymac.com says
is has a 64-bit bus but I had a hunch they were wrong... ?)
