Though the Classic gets a lot of bad press, I actually really like mine. I read somewhere once that by running older apps written for these machines, they can actually feel as fast or faster than modern machines running the same modern versions of the software. My Classic will be my daughters first computer, when she turns three in a couple of months. Unless, of course, I can find a cheap Color Classic instead. Yeah right!

My Classic II (maxed to 10 Mb) has 7.6.1 with some extensions from System 8 (like the appareance manager), and takes a bit less than a minute to boot. And after booting, it is quite slow for everyday work (taking into account that I have on it applications bigger than I should, like ClarisWorks). Getting back to the conversation topic, I do love my Classic 4/40: it boots 6.0.8 in about ten seconds, and is pretty quick running the vintage apps I have on it. It is, actually, a lot quicker than most of the later (and more powerfull) machines I have in my collection. Of course, computer perceived speed is not the same as computer power - but we all know it :-) .
