And a pretty accurate one at that.

The only Mac I have is an old Quadra 610 and, even though I don't use it
much, I am impressed by it.  After opening it up to put the battery back
in (it came out at some point) I noticed how similar the insides were to
the SparcStation 10s at work.  Sure, it wasn't Sun hardware in there, but
everything fit together like it was supposed to be there, as opposed to
the rat's nest of cables in my flaky Athlon box.
