I doubt that any System >= 7.0 will be faster than the Systems 3.2 or 6.05
on a *68000*-machine, or do you really think there will be some magic code
in the 7.* which could speed up my MacPlus? Btw, System 6.05 is already
too slow for my taste... 

I do the System upgrades because I want to get rid of nasty bugs like Folder
From Hell. I would appreciate if Apple sometimes could solve these kind
of bugs *before* putting in more features into the software.
