It is really annoying that Apple's own software breaks under their
new operating system.  Didn't they follow the guidelines? :-)
I understand that MPW3.1 doesn't have hooks to the new system 
features but it really shouldn't break.

BTW,  I hope someone figures out real quick how to get rid of the
balloon crap.  If I'm not using it I don't want it taking up space
on the menu bar either. "This is a folder."  Jeeze.

Has anyone run speedometer on 7.0 release?  I noticed 7.0b4 was
significantly slower than 6.0.5-7.  I'm hoping that the release
executes faster.

What is the best University price on the personal-kit been?  The
lowest I've heard here on the net is $89.  This upgrade business
is starting to add up. $$  It seems that all my favorite software
is in the "must-upgrade" category.

Perhaps System 7.0 isn't for everybody, me for example.
