My mac II guided tour is very finicky.  I think it will only run if
you have the control panel set to the right combination of shades /
pixel and b/w v.s. color (and maybe 0K ram cache).  I cannot remember
which settings you need, but if your Mac II guided tour won't boot,
this could be the problem.

I was appalled.  I opened my brand-new "easy to use computer",
connected the cables, inserted the guided tour disk, and booted the
machine.  It immediately crashed.  Whether the tour runs depends on
the state of the PRAM!  I had to boot the finder and fiddle with the
control panel to make it run!  A novice user would be sunk!

Apple?  Are you listening?  Please fix the guided tour so it always
runs.
