Low end macs and Appleinsider
I know we spend a lot of time speculating about what the latest greatest Macs are going to be. However I wondered about the not so latest and greatest.
What is the slowest and oldest Mac you use to regularly read Appleinsider?
My Umax c600@240 finally started acting weird so it was put to pasture. So now the slowest computer I use is a PowerMac 6500/250.(603e)
I own slower Macs, I just don't use them on the internet because it is almost insufferable with the 6500.

My goal is to surf here with a Plus. I adore the Plus, it's probably my favorite Mac other than my lovely iBook. I don't have a Plus but I want one... anyone here have an extra lying around?
I'll tell you where to download system 6 if you sell me a Plus...
Aw, whatever. You can either download it from Apple's FTP site, <a href="ftp://ftp.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_6.0.x/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_6.0.x/</a>
or you can go to <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/" target="_blank">http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/</a> and look around. That page has a lot of resources for old Mac users.
The PowerBook Duo 230 will be put on the network shortly.
sorry.
I also browsed a few times from my old LC575 but never posted.
I have an SE/30 with an ethernet card installed, but I am unable to put a browser on it as of yet...i need to update to system 7.1 (sys 7.0 on there now)
Sometimes when I'm at my parent's house I use a powerbook G4 500Mhz. That's pushing it. . . But I suppose the worst machine I ever pulled up AI on (to todays standards) is an 8500. That was back in 99 or so. wow. my first post to AI was in the summer of 99. . . pushin' 4 years.
