I learned Photoshop 2.5 on a 5MB RAM/40MB HDD Mac IIvx (512KB video RAM, hell yeah). Seems incredible now, but that capability after upgrading from a pre-Windows 286 felt incredible then.
Now my Apple Silicon machine bogs down when everything’s trying to use the same core for UI I guess, and each browser tab consumes more resources than Mac OS 7.

- jkestner 2y agoNot sure the IIvx was ever the top of the line, more like the butt of jokes. The 68040s were out in Quadras already, and this was a hobbled IIci. I remember we got it when they were slashing prices near the EOL, which is what made it a decent buy.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoYou’re right. I got it mixed up with the original Mac IIx (the gray box).
