I paid $850 for my $2200 Perfoma 600CD. It was a floor model that somebody
had hacked into the At Ease prefs on, and had changed the password so nobody
could use it. I opened Claris Works, and saved a CW file with the same name
as the At Ease Preferences file in the prefs folder, and had a fully-usable
P600 in just a few minutes. :-) That was back in '94. I still have that
computer, but I've replaced the hard drive twice, swapped out the logic
board with one from a Quadra 650, updated the RAM, and had a new CD ROM
drive replaced (caddy drive, and the caddy broke). The only things still
original on this computer are the keyboard, mouse and floppy drive. :-) It
is now sitting on a shelf, waiting for me to set up our ethernet network...
