My Photoshop workstation is a PowerMac G3 450 with 1GB RAM, 2 drives: 27GB and 140 GB that I bought used in 2002 for �400. It originally came with a 12 GB and 512Kb RAM, which I upgraded. It was used from new in 1999 by a graphics studio. It's still going strong. It's fairly fast even in this day and age but showing it's age slightly - PS 7 takes 16 seconds to open. I would like a new machine at some point but we run 4 Macs in the house and Rome was not built in one day ;-) <http://www.apple-history.com/frames/body.php?page=gallery&model=g3blue> Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
