The thing that surprise me was that the results differs depending upon which Apple HD was installed. For example, the Miniscribe was a little bit faster than the Rodime. The overall speed was 1.14 and 1.02 respectively. I had also tested out the new Mac Classic and found the following results: Classic with 2 megs and Conner 40 meg HD CPU 1.0 Math 1.0 Disk 2.14 Overall 1.20 Classic with 1 meg and Rodime 100 meg HD CPU 1.0 Math 1.0 Disk 2.86 Overall 1.38 With my somewhat limited technical experience, I say that the Mac + and the SE is very identical. The results I got was rather similar. If I do a lot of application switching and opening and closing windows, the Plus seems to does it more smoothly and a little faster. While, on the other hand, the SE slows to almost a crawl if I do the same. The Classic was a lot better. The truth: I am convinced that SE has its advantages. For example, it does the "writing" part a bit faster when duplicating a big file, it scrolls a bit more smoothly and faster in the "Page View" mood of Word 4.0, and does QuickDraw faster, according to experts on this net. What are QuickDraw applications? Also could I have some response what I have just typed? Thanks. Pleas excuse my grammatical errors. :wq : wq :pp Help I can't send it!! :wp CPU
