. | Road Apple: CentrisThe name, not the computers
Apple created the shortest-lived line of computers with the Centris series. Introduced in February 1993 as a midpoint between the Mac II and Quadra series (Centris, central, middle), Apple eliminated the name that October. The Centris line comprised three models: the 610 (20 MHz 68LC040), the 650 (25 MHz 68040), and the 660av (July 1993, 25 MHz 68040). All were competent performers. In October, Apple renamed each as a Quadra and bumped the 610 to 25 MHz, the 650 to 33 MHz. Apple's other great naming fiasco, the Performa (implying
performance?), lasted much longer.
