- System 7.0, 7.0.1, and possibly 7.1 (using it not long enough to know
- yet), are high-quality products, except *Finder* has some frustrating
- bugs. Some of them are speed issues. Yes, maybe they bit off more
- than they could chew, but they have an obligation to say when that
- happens.
-
- My biggest gripe: Finder is too slow. I say sentence the Finder Team
- to living on Classics (not Classic II's) until they clean up their
- act.
-
- Second, Finder is the buggyest part of the the 7.Xs. (Ever noticed
- the mess they make if the desktop database? System 7 icons hiding
- behind system 6 masks, icons igored, pixel to the right offsets for
- icons, etc.)
-
- So fix it!
