Btw, i'm not sure what you think, but that Q700 DOES look kinda cute sitting there between the MacStack™ and the Q950.

Heh, i remember that appearance in Jurassic Park. Btw, remember what i said about the empty mounting holes in the side of my Q700? Well i figured out what they're for: Removable feets! You can remove the feets from teh bottom, and place them on the side, to place the machine horizontally, or vice versa. But i guess you already knew that.

Nice score! Wish I hadn't sold mine, I fuond it in a 7100 but never had a decent 68k Mac to put it in and I was going to spend 100USD on a new ROM to make it work properly in a PowerMac, oh well!

You can't forget all the feetsmacs, Pizzaboxes and Mac IIs in ID4, as well as the PowerBook 5300 that saved the world.

The 700 is a cute lil boxie, sandwiched between other macs or not :D. It just happened to fill the gap nicely when I was lining up the family shot!.

And starring in movies too - http://www.danamania.com/temp/jp.jpg


As much as I like the Q700, what I really want is the big red box next to the bad nerd's desk.

I've *ALWAYS* wanted an SGi box

Congrats on the 9150, I've always wanted one of those as well, or are we talking about a q700?

either way, Quadras are cool machines what about Batman at about the same time as the TAM?

a) Why am i a topic jacker?

b) I know that the only 9150 was a WGS. Still, doesn't stop me from putting WGS in front of it.
