Old Macs Sighting

From Bev Martin, "I went into one of our local Bank of America branches in Bellingham, WA a few days ago and could not believe what I saw. They actually had a network running with 512K Macs. Now that's getting the mileage out of your old computer."

"Sure brought back some memories. My first Mac was a 512K back in '86 or was it '87? When I bought my first hard disk, a Jasmine with a whopping 20 meg, I had to pop the case and cut a hole in the battery compartment to dangle the SCSI cable out the back to connect it."

"I was thinking about that computer the other day when I was working with a 35 meg Photoshop file on my G4 800 mhz Dual Processor Mac."
