I've seen this offer and I find it disgusting. They give the machine a new
name and hopes that some students doesn't see through these acts of deception.

I've tried System 7 on a Mac II, it's hopeless slow. I can't think of anyone
with such a great patience he could use it on a 68000-Mac.
Sometimes I start my MacPlus with System 3.2 just to get some speed over it:
there are still a lot of programs that works with it.

Is Apple going to give any support for a less-than-two-meg-system to be
used by us who can't afford an upgrade?
