Some of the 7200s also have flakey onboard ethernet along with the slow 
601 processor. About the only thing they have going for themselves is 
the great case design. The 8500s and 4400s have to be practically 
stripped right down in order add some RAM. Made all the more fun by the 
old plastic in the 8500s having a tendency to crack. The 4400s with 
their metal chassis are more durable but there's some sharp edges. Only 
Mac that's ever made me bleed. :-)
