Hello to who ever reads this. I hve some basic questions about the posibility of turning my mac+ into a computer of the 90's. While the machine is still a superstar as far as I am concerned, and it has served me faithfully for 4 yrs now, it is time to upgrade to a faster CPU. I have some general questions though. O.K. here we go..... 1=> Should I buy an daughter board or a new product from apple?? While i have always been a strong suporter of apple, lately I have had may doubts about the company. There newer cpus are expensive. I can get an excellent daughter board that will outperform the newer macs!!! I am quite upset that apple has decided not to support the plus anymore but I guess they know what is best!!! 2=> Are ther any products that will allow the mac+ to use a color monitor, and are ther any products that will add new bus slots to a mac+?? As I see it these are the only reasons to buy a new apple product. If some third party developers have put something together then I will have to seriously consider just upgrading my plus. I will be going to the mac world expo in boston next week. so if any one has any suggestions, I would be more then happy to hear them. I have given this a lot of thought lately, and I am well aware of the accelerators availabe out there but the color and newbus search drew a big blank. thanks in advance Robert O.
