- How much memory do you have in it anyway? My Dad's Powerbook 100 2/20 was
- basically useless under Sys 7 due to no memory and enemic harddisk and he
- switched it back to Sys 6. A shame because all the neat keyboard tricks in
- Sys 7 make it ideal for a Powerbook.

- To my opinon, Sys 7 doesn't seem fast on *any* Mac. I don't quite know what
- it is but the Mac just *seems* slower. The only problem is that besides the
- frequent crashes under Sys 7 it's just so damn useful that you want to keep
- it.
