Well, with 50 or so classic macs around the house, I had to choose the
four that I would dork with the most often.  Here's why they won a spot on
the KVM:

1) Quadra 840av - exactly - video capture.  Also, it's the fastest 68K I
have.

2) IIfx - I love the IIfx.  The perfect system 7 box.

3) Duo 280c - I need a place for the DuoDock, and I can take that system
with me.  It's also just plain nifty.

4) IIci - with the 50MHz 68030 crammed into it, it's just too much fun.  I
can run system 6, 7 on it, and play with old software.
