Comment Power Mac 7100 still cranking away (Score 1) 1705

We have a Power Mac 7100 80AV running IP NetRouter that we use as an Internet gateway for the other computers on our network.

When I was a high school teacher I used to edit videos for our schoolwide TV system on this same 7100 using a SpigotPower card.

The 7100 80 set me back $2500 in 1994. Now you can get one for not much over $25.

I'm writing this on a new G-4, but we still run two SuperMac S900's (upgraded to G-4), a Power Mac 8600 (G-3 upgrade) and a 7600 (G-4 upgrade). My daughter plans to hook up a Play Station 2 to the S900's ATI video card AV inputs and use it to play Internet games when she is not doing her homework for the art college she attends.

We've been using Macs since our first IIsi in 1991 and I've seen Apple produce some real lemons. I was foolish enough to purchase a 5200 AV once, but when Apple gets it right, their machines just keep going and going.
