I don't even *need* the SE/30 upgrade and am increasingly contemplating throwing that money into the packet server. Get a clue already, will you? Hey, System 7.0 is slick. Don't pass it up. I don't think that many people will. At least I hope they don't. +--------------- | software will perform well on an SE. Maybe Hypercard 3.0 will have | direct support for color.

(hint, hint) There are a lot of people who use Hypercard that would like direct color support. Let's hope Apple doesn't listen to you. +--------------- | Image what software developers can do if memory considerations aren't | important, and you've got CPU to burn. +--------------- Should I care? (hint, hint) Hey, how about the next time you feel like replying with this kind of a follow-up, do it via e-mail. This is stupid trash (hint, hint). Why don't you just sit back, shut up, and watch the computer industry move towards the year 2000. You have your SE. What more do you need? You obviously don't have anything to contribute. Apple didn't have a $1000 computer until 1990 and they managed to sell over 4 million machines. -Mike
