Michael, thanks for the info. :-)
It sure brings back memories...I had forgotten about the P75, P90 and
PI33 CPUs.
I vividly remember when our office switched over to P166 based computers.
These were definitely a nice jump from the 486 ones we had been using.
On a side note, the bloody knuckle comment was aimed at the Mac tower
case Quadras, and then the PPC 8100. With the 8500 and newer designs,
the tower Macs seemed easier to open up.
The desktop Quadras were easy to open up compared to the tower Quadras.
Sure a far cry from what we have today with the G3 and G4 towers. Now
they are a whole lot easier and more fun to open up. Don't even have to
disconnect the peripherals. Now that is nice.
