Now, it would get bogged down with more than probably 15 or so connections at any one time, but it is just a matter "taking a ticket and waiting in line" Macs are kind of funny like that. They may be slow (and act like they are stuck) but 90+% of the time, they do reach the end of whatever they were working on successfully without crashing.

The cool thing about these Macs (even 8Mhz 4mb RAM ones) is that I can print to a color laser printer over ethernet, and share files, programs, and even whole drives between them over an ethernet network. I'd say that's impressive considering they are almost 15 years old. I can post on ChiefDelphi from one too! But I do need a 68030 (or maybe a 68020 will do) processor for that though (to run MS Internet Explorer 2.1)

I prefer the Newton Webserver

Surprisingly, I remember that Mac...

Sure it was small, but it was awsome to me back when I was in 1st (?) grade.

By the way, how's the Nano?
