6300CD vs. iPhone

In the spring of 5th grade my class went on a week-long trip to Williamsburg, Virginia. When I returned my parents had bought "the family" a Macintosh Performa 6300CD. The reality of the situation was that I was the only one to use it. I was 11 and I now owned my first computer. This computer shipped with Lode Runner: The Legend Returns which occupied me for far longer than I expected. It brought me (without warning) all my favorite lucasarts games, my first excursions on to the internet (via Hotline) and MacOS System 7.

Every time I buy a smaller and more powerful handheld device I want to write a comparison piece about it and my old Performa but I always get hung up on the fact that the 15" screen on my Performa made 640x480 pixels in thousands of colors and none of my devices came anywhere close to that. I can now make this comparison.

Processor:
6300CD: 100Mhz
iPhone: ~400Mhz (according to investigations)

iPhone FTW, easy.

RAM:
6300CD: 16MB
iPhone: 117MB (according to investigations)

iPhone FTW, again.

OS:
6300CD: System 7
iPhone: OS X (eh, kinda)

iPhone FTW, never OS 7 again.

Keyboard:
6300CD: Full, keys got sticky sometimes
iPhone: Compact, virtual, touch, hopefully never sticky

6300CD FTW, I don't think I'll ever be able to type without looking on my iPhone.

Screen:
6300CD: 640x480, 64dpi
iPhone: 480x320, 160dpi

iPhone FTW, finally!

Drive:
6300CD: 1.2Gb
iPhone: 8Gb

iPhone FTW

Communication:
6300CD: 33.6 Modem, Infrared
iPhone: EDGE, Wifi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0

iPhone FTW, although EDGE is almost as slow as 33.6

Weight:
6300CD: 50 (19 + 31) lbs
iPhone: 4.8 ounces

Uh, iPhone FTW.

Music:
6300CD: CD Player? Sad speakers...
iPhone: MP3, AAC, Etc

iPhone FTW, we had other cd players back in the day.

Mobility:
6300CD: With back strain only
iPhone: Because you have to

iPhone FTW.

Doom:
6300CD: Yes
iPhone: NO

6300CD FTW. Also iPhone WTF! Shouldn't this be done by now?

iPhone also wins in categories such as: Least buttons, Shiniest, Comes With Dock, Integrated Microphone, Can Order Pizza, Can Find Maps, and Does Hokey Pokey
6300CD wins the last few though: Has Lots of Cables, Enabled Command & Conquer Obsession, Must Be Plugged In To 120V and most importantly, Saved My Childhood

Finally. The decision is in.
iPhone wins! Finally, a machine that can match my 6300CD in the palm of my hand, horray!
