- I've been asked by various people to recommend Mac hardware for them. Usually
- it's for their college children. This, because I'm in the computer business.
- Trouble is, I have little experience with Apple products.
-
- I know that it is important to buy a System 7 compatible Mac, but I'm not
- really sure what that means, other than System 7 won't run on the 68000 based
- Mac's. This would be the Mac Classic, right?
-
- If someone could tell me what the various members of the 68000 family are
- capable of doing, what is a reasonable amount of RAM to configure, and what
- System 7 provides over the previous OS which is the one I've used before.
-
- Also, does this apply to Powerbooks too?
-
- Any help would be appreciated. Thanx
