Wow! A quadra owner! And a 9500 owner!. Sniff :( I owned a performa 400, it was the equivalent of a LCII at the time. 40 mhz (I think), and 80 megabytes of hard drive space and 4 megs of ram. That was huge! Then... a Performa 6400. It had... gasp... a bass audio speaker built-in! I was shocked. It was uber cool. Microphone, 200mhz, and a few gigs... gigs! of hard drive space. It was my baby. . . Until my Sony Vaoi laptop for Diablo II... Pitiful excuse to upgrade? Yep. Very very bad. If Diablo II for mac came out sooner, I might not have upgraded. Then finally some real power: A brand spanking new graphite tower Apple G4. Reason? Unknown. It was a major upgrade at the time. Good enough reason here.

Now... I'm playing on a 4x AGP bus with a 8x AGP card, sitting on ram to spare, and pack plenty of CPU and no great huge hard drive concerns. No big need to upgrade. It works, most of the time.
