The IIVX was/is a great machine - and one of Apple's really big marketing
mistakes. When it came out, it was their fastest, top of the midrange
machine and sold for about four grand. A couple of months or so later, the
slashed the price in half, thoroughly pissing off everybody who bought one
for the original price. Fortunately I waited and bought mine for about
$1800 (I still have it, being one of those fools who never gets rid of a
working piece of gear - I keep it around as a backup in case my PowerMac
goes belly-up in the midst of a job. Of course, I still have my Selectric
in case the IIVX also dies, a manual typewriter in case there's no power,
and a good supply of pencils and paper in case all else fails...). The one
drawback to the IIVX was that all four simm slots had to have matching
simms, so upgrading RAM was an expensive proposition.
