POWERUSER IN THE HOUSE  ;-)

In that example I'll take your word for it.

My world consists of daily routines between the Quirk/ ID/ Photoshop/
Acrobat and Illustrator family. Back in OS9 days, even with 2GB of ram, fast
machine, bells and whistles, crashes happened. I had an excellent
workstation that I maintained very strict rules with (no shareware or app's
I wasn't using for work specifically). I could often get through days and
even a week or two where I was crash-free (sleep only). But between all the
.ps, .ai, .eps, .pdf, .qxd, .psd, .doc. files and whatever it is that
clients try to send sometimes - a 'melt down' was always inevitable.

Funny you speak of running a web server on your PB, back then was the
fan-noise issue some complain of today just not an issue? I guess it depends
on what you were serving off of your web server!!
