- Yea, It was basically useless with only 2 megs of ram, but with 4
- megs it has no problem running system 7. (Also, if you upgrade, I found it
- to be cheaper to mail-order the ram and then take it to your local
- authorized dealer to have it installed.)

- I found it to be too useful to stay with 6.0.8. (Which is what I
