Here's a little trick you can do to add the most vital function of
7.5--drag and drop. Simply copy your 7.5 finder to your 7.1 folder, and add
in the drag and drop extensions, including the finder scripting
extension--you can drag over AppleScript too--and you've got Drag and Drop
clippings, as well as a scriptable OS, without 7.5's ram requirements.
One problem that I had with 7.1, and I'm not alone, is that sometimes, when
the system crashes, you lose your finder or system file. I kept extra
copies inside my system folder (in separate folders) for just this
contingency. I don't have fond memories of 7.1 at all. 7.6.1 is by far my
most favorite of the "7" series. I haven't tried 8.1 and can't think of a
compelling enough reason to move to it on my Quadra (68040, nor my wife's
Duo 280c)
