I dealt with Performas while behind the bar but this takes it to a new level. Found this on TUAW, but I like Engadget’s synopsis:

Far be it from us to ridicule folks who desperately cling to ancient technology, hoping against hope it will serve their current needs… nevermind, let’s ridicule them. This pic was apparently snapped at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store, where the customer had brought in a Mac SE, circa 1988, asking for upgrade recommendations. The guy had apparently been using the machine, which runs at a blazing 8MHz (and this time that’s not a typo!), for his banking and for some bizarre reason he decided it was time to look into something a little beefier. Given that the Genius actually appears to be checking the machine out, rather than smirking knowingly and recommending that the customer turn it into a fish tank, we think there’s a good chance he told him to upgrade the RAM (the SE can handle a whopping 4MB) and sent him home. And then smirked knowingly to his fellow Geniuses.

I know I couldn’t have held back the smirk unil the guy left: I would have had to take a break in the AppleCare room and yell.
