You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.174.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 May 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Power Macintosh 8500''' (sold as the '''Power Macintosh 8515''' in [[Europe]] and [[Japan]]) is a [[personal computer]] designed, manufactured and sold by [[Apple Inc.|Apple Computer]] from August 1995 to February 1997. Billed as a high-end graphics computer, the Power Macintosh 8500 was initially released with a 120&nbsp;MHz [[PowerPC 600#PowerPC 604|PowerPC 604]], and unlike earlier Power Macintosh machines, the CPU was mounted on an upgradeable [[daughtercard]]. Though slower than the 132&nbsp;MHz [[Power Macintosh 9500]], the first-generation 8500 featured several audio and video ([[S-Video]] and [[composite video]]) in/out ports not found in the 9500. In fact, the 8500 incorporated near-broadcast quality (640×480) A/V input and output and was the first personal computer to do so, but no hard drive manufactured in 1997 could sustain the 18 MB/s data rate required to capture video at that resolution. Later, special [[Av drive|"AV" hard drives]] were made available that could delay [[thermal recalibration]] until after a write operation had completed. With special care to minimize [[fragmentation (computing)|fragmentation]], these drives were able to keep up with the 8500's video circuitry.

The 8500 was introduced alongside the [[Power Macintosh 7200]] and [[Power Macintosh 7500|7500]] at the 1995 MacWorld Expo in Boston.<ref name=infoworld19950807>((cite magazine

))</ref>  Apple referred to these machines collectively as the "Power Surge" line, communicating that these machines offered a significant speed improvement over its predecessors.  Infoworld Magazine's review of the 8500 showed a performance improvement in their "business applications suite" from 10 minutes with the 8100/100, to 7:37 for the 8500/120.<ref name=infoworld19950807 />  They also noted that the 8500 run an average of 24 to 44 percent faster than a similarly-clocked [[P5 (microarchitecture)|Intel Pentium]] chip, with the performance nearly double on graphics and publishing tasks.

The 8500's CPU was updated twice during its production run. It originally shipped with a 120&nbsp;MHz [[PowerPC 600#PowerPC 604|PowerPC 604]], later with the same chip running at 150&nbsp;MHz, and finally with a [[PowerPC 600#PowerPC 604e|PowerPC 604e]] running at 180&nbsp;MHz. It was succeeded by the [[Power Macintosh 8600]] in February 1997.
