I don't like the 610/660/6100 case. Easier to get into than some, but the footprint is way too big.

Nevertheless, I still rate the 68040 machines higher than the PPC601s.

I recall my annoyance when work gave me a PM6100. I switched to a Quadra when one became available...

The Macintosh
Centris. I felt like starting a discussion about this,
seeing as I recently found a fully working Macintosh Centris
660av from eBay. I actually made this video unboxing it
(watch if you want I don't care:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lddp3vMa4hc ), and then I
decided to start this discussion. You don't have to have
one to talk about this topic, but you should have some basic
knowledge at least about the line. Anyways, let's talk
about the Macintosh Centris/Quadra 610, 650, 660av, or
Macintosh IIvx.

Thanks to having a power button right next to the floppy drive, users trained on non-Macs were constantly powering it off and losing unsaved work when they meant to eject a disk.
