1. Has anyone noticed how funny and odd a 630 looks when all its plastic casing has been removed? I didn't, until recently. I've had to take my 630's clothes off temporarily, because i've been needing to swap stuff out of it a lot lately. Anyway, yesterday i was looking at it, with my AppleVision 1710 sitting on top, and realised how odd it really looks like that....it almost looks like the stunt car of computers.2. Last night I was setting my alarm on my clock radio, when i noticed a cockroach in my bin, which ran along the top of a dead PowerBook SCSI HD I had sitting in there. Perhaps it died because there was a bug in the system?  "Buggy" software?  -------------------------- "I keep my friends close, but I keep my enemies closer" - Unkown Warrior maclover5

I keep my 6360 Bare@$$ nekkid alla' time! I prefer the way it looks in plain sheet metal and it'd be a LOT harder to fence, should someone break into the shop. I did the same thing with the 630 when it was the main plotter server too.A bum broke into the shop and ran off with a Mac Plus because the external drive made it look more impressive than my SE with the Radius16 accelerator in it. :rolleyes: My best machine has been the nastiest lookin' one in the shop ever since! But now the 466 is the prettiest one and it has carry handles too, bleh! I guess I could pull the plastics off that one too . . . .  jt  ™.
