This was my main PC for most of college. It has a Dove board upgrade to add more RAM (a whole 1MB!) and SCSI. Those boxes sitting next to the CPU are an external Apple 20MB hard drive and an Asante SCSI-Ethernet thingamajig. This old Mac has MacPaint, MacWrite and MacHTTP on it. My dream is to get this up and running on the CNET network as the world's slowest Web server, but I'm not sure the IT department would let me.

P.S. There's a fortune cookie saying taped above the screen: "A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains."
