And the documentation with the $50 upgrade is pretty good, IMHO.
After having HC 2.0 for about two weeks I created myself a nifty stack
that won a local creative design contest, and netted me an SE/30 to
replace my SE. Just in time for System 7! I sold my old computer,
bought a color monitor and am now gleefully enjoying the nice look and
feel (not to mention great new functionality) of System 7, and virtual
memory to boot.
