A good place to show off what extras you've bolted on recently... (Ooh, err, Missus! 
)

Now Peet, you see we're just not like that. PC owners do that sort of thing. All Macs are equal.

You should see the disks on these PC fly, all without the aid of SCSI buses.

Discs fly? Only flying objects I've seen come from a PC are sparks and the CD Drive spring. Two seperate occurances, unrelated. Pentiums melt, too... that accounts for the sparks. Ineffecient pieces of ****. G4 - so eficient it doesn't need a fan! Pentium - melts in your PC, not in your hand.

You think Pentiums can run hot? An ex-boss of mine once powered up a PC with a 486 inserted in the socket the wrong way round. He says it was like an incandescent light bulb shining through the ceramic...
An "automatic safety feature" kicked in, inasmuch as the (non-ZIF) socket frothed up so much it pushed the processor out of the board! After I'd sanded the socket flat again and fitted a new 486, the motherboard worked fine, and to the best of my knowledge is still inside a machine which is used on a daily basis almost six years later.

Hello again, Galen. Slow Mac? What is it? My slowest is a Performa 6400. But my iMac's pretty slow, too. Then again, it's four years old and the Performa's made in '96. Oh well, could be a PC.

My slowest is a "Mac Plus", but I don't use it much as I only have a mouse for it - no keyboard...

I could always throw my Aladdin Mac emulator cartridge (with genuine original Mac ROMs!) for the 8MHz Atari ST into the mix...
