I don't often meme but when I do, all the numbers are real.

THAT is why I bought my 832x624 (1024x768 but the Q700 didn't support that) four years later for $700.

Rabid Early Adopters are great for up-front cash flow. Another symptom of Apple 1.0 syndrome.

@danmcd @cocoawithlove A Q700? Oooh, look at you, fancy pants! (I had a Centris 630 back then.)

@cstross @cocoawithlove

630? Do you mean 610 (thin one) or 650 (thick one)?

I bought that Q700 at the same time as the monitor I mentioned, February 1993. The C650 had just come out, and Q700s were on clearance. I had to think long & hard about which of the C650 or Q700 I wanted. I went with the Q700 because of tried-and-true syndrome. It served me well for 6 years. (And NFW was I getting the Q800, way too much!)

@danmcd @cocoawithlove Brain fart: I meant a Performa 630 (aka Quadra 630/LC 630).

Now you're tickling my memory AND making things clearer, thank you.
