Hey, my mac at the time was this:

Apple MAC Quadra 650 with a whopping 16MB of RAM and a special PowerPC chip to use for graphics. This was still the old Apple chips. The monitor was a huge 15 inch one with a 500MB drive. To install Aldus (BEFORE Adobe bought them) Pagemaker was 22 floppy disks and Adobe Photoshop was 25 (I still have them somewhere). I had a black and white 300 dpi scanner and network printer. The whole setup set me back $12,000 CDN.

And I was using nifty things called Iomega Zip drives and disks to submit my desktop publishing stuff to printers.
