- I had the opportunity to play with a PowerBook 100 for about a week.
- It was a 2/20 model, and ran Word 4.? with no problems, even working
- on a 170+ page document. (And with room for running a couple other
- (small) applications.) The secret was to dump System 7, and replace
- it with a late-model System 6.
-
- It's a pretty nice little machine, I'm seriously considering trying to
- pick one up myself.
