Anyone who knows me would know that I staunchly believe in the abolition of capital punishment. However, I feel that a reasonable exception would be whoever designed the case for the Quadra 800.
Added this nice PowerBook 3400c to my collection

I will have to send it to get it recapped since it's only making a popping noise and yes I did remove the PRAM battery out of it

I will also need to get a replacement front bezel for it since it's cracked

Made on a Mac IIfx with Photoshop 2.5.1 under System 6.0.8

The first drawing I made with my newly acquired IIfx last year. No layers and only 640x480, quite limited by the amount of RAM under System 6.

how is it to draw with a lag? old Photoshop has a slow brush

The lag very much depends on your canvas size, brush size and the way you draw your strokes. If you do continuous big circles on a large canvas, there will be some lag. If you do small strokes with a small brush, lag is a lot less noticeable. I adapt my workflow based on that. I first draw my sketch on a lower resolution (640x480 is fine on the IIfx). Then, if I want to do an HD output, I upscale my sketch, add a layer and do my cleanup this way with shorter and slower strokes on the larger canvas.

The amount of RAM you give to Photoshop also helps as it will not use the drive for storing temporary data. On system 7, I give 60MB to Photoshop and it feels a lot smoother than on 6.0.8 where it only has 8MB of RAM.
