Writing about System 1.0, Pai Chou (chou@june.cs.washington.edu) writes:

	One thing that I miss is that the old Finder shows you
	the size of the folders on top of the window; but since they
	went HFS, you have to do a Get Info command.

Does anyone else seem to find this extensively humorous that eons of computer
time later, with the advent of HFS and other similarly great improvements,
that it took until System 7.0 to return this feature? Also this one:

	The System was about 200K, and Finder was about 50K, so
	you could actually fit system, finder, MacWrite, and MacPaint
	on the same 400K floppy!

Again, the problem of making a bootable disk within the limits of disk space
seems to be here again in full force.

La plus que change... [The more that changes...] :-)
(I'm waiting for System 7.0, too) [like who's not?]
