- My guess would be to go ahead and take delivery. There will always be a
- "better" machine coming soon, and if you wait for the better machine you will
- always be waiting.

- : 2. Does system 7.1 cripple macs? should I instal 7.0.1 on my new mac?
-
- No and NO. I think the vx needs 7.1 and 7.0.x won't run on it. For most US
- users the upgrade to 7.1 is little more than a bug fix.
