I remember the IIfx...it had a 68030 with an FPU, which made me jealous because I had a Performa 475 with a 68LC040. The 68LC40 was a deliberately crippled 68040 with no FPU, which made it in some very important ways worse than the 68030, a previous generation processor. This left me with the unfortunate inability to run NetBSD, which I desperately wanted to do as I was just getting into computers at the time and wanted to use an OS that, unlike the friendly classic Mac OS, was closer to bare metal and let me do things like write my own programs ( which I couldn't really do in classic Mac OS because the main development tools were either insanely expensive or had critical features disabled, such as the ability to create new projects. ) So all the IIfx owners were flooding the NetBSD users mailing list with their successful boot-up stories, and I couldn't get beyond the bootloader prompt. I eventually had to take the 68LC040 out and replace it with a 68040 so I could use NetBSD and other powerful software like Infini-D...

We've come a long way. Now I'm running Mac OS and it is BSD. And all i have to do to create a new programming project is type git init in some unsuspecting directory.
