Unless it has a mode that lets it run on a Gs, it really isn't of much use is it. I don't think any of the features of System7 hold any relevance to Apple II users, not even TrueType at this time, certainly not IAC, balloon help or 32-bit clean ROMs. If you think this is appropriate why not a comparative study of System7, Workbench 3.0 and GEOS (on all three of its supported platforms)? While you are at it don't forget to copy the post to comp.sys.Amiga, atari, ibm, ti, and nintendo. I'll chill out it a few minutes, but damn if this doesn't peeve me!
