If you can read this, you can know that Sys 7.0 runs fine on a IIcx.

I simply backed up the old stuff, slipped in the disk, ran the compatibility
checker, ignored all the bad stuff it said, ran the installer, and it's been
running fine since.

No problems so far.  The ballons ARE silly after a while (I don't normally
load HELP files on my hard disk for any application, so why should I use
Balloons?).  For some reason (personal impression only), the Multifinder
action seems to work "better" now than before.  I used to occasionally get
a crash under 6.0.5, but I haven't so far under Sys 7.0.

I've got some stuff on my desktop aliased, labelled, some shown by Icon,
some shown by kind (I like this one).  In short, so far I like it.  I don't 
notice any slow down, but then I don't do too much "power" stuff.

I did have to shut down Word and MacTerminal so I could run a Director show
but that is because I "only" have 4 meg.
