What fun can I have with MacOS8.1?

Here is a Wikipedia article about the Quadra 605 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Quadra_605  :-D

Thanks Invisix.

I found a Performa 475 (same as 605) too.  The battery was gone so I bought one fromRadio Shack.  After tax, these go for $18 now (more than I paid for some computers, grin).

I have way too many Macs.  I think I'm going to keep 3 and try to find a good home for the rest.  Any takers in my area?

You could sit back an marvel in the fact that Apple still hadn't caught up with the Amiga by 1997 (that took until at least 2003)

There is a lot of decent software out there for 68k Macs, most of it is abandon-ware of one type or another. The older versions of Photoshop (>= 4.0.1) and stuff like Filemaker Pro, Excel & Word (yes, they were non-bloated apps of fine quality once upon a time ), and much more are all to be had with a bit of searching. Then you can learn to love the fixed memory management, poor multitasking, and the joy of extension conflicts and the annoying Control Panels folder
