We upgrade the RAM by hand though, which did help. And went from OS 7.6 to 8.6 eventually... which made things a bit more stable. Such weird machines.

Only weirder machine I remember was the Mac TV, I knew someone with a school equipped with those.

It's almost cheating given that it was a limited-edition model, but the TAM [1] was even stranger.

Oh yes, I forgot all about those. I've never seen one in person but it's a very odd one.
