Ask why the mouse is moving funny. Have him I can start up a _bunch_ of apps on a 2 meg Mac (I just have to be selective about what I launch). How about Word 4, Excel, and HyperCard? Not an unreasonable request since they are bread and butter apps. System 7 will allow IAC, so one should be able to do useful things with these three programs. Actually, IAC should allow for a lot of "neat" things. I'll need Word 4, PageMaker, and Illustrator open at once. >try to do anything useful while formatting a disk. Ask him why he can't run Yeah, that is a substantial criticism. I mean really, how OFTEN do you need to format a disk? It is nifty to be able to do so and run another task, but it just as easy to format a bunch at once and then go back to work. Ok, how about copying files b/w floppies, or backing up your hard disk to floppies? >multifinder on a Mac Classic. Get a new source for your Mac info. MultiFinder runs just fine on the Classic. How well does System 7 run? -Mike
