On a classic Mac apps can reside anywhere. The 'Applications' folder is merely a helpful suggestion of where to put the things.
I've seen macs with apps stored is all sorts of unlikely places, including one person who always put all their applications in a folder in the System folder.

I'll look again, but I'm 99% sure the last user simply deleted the applications, because all the shortcuts don't work and a search yields nothing. Hope I don't need to reinstall the OS for some deleted utilities, because the 'book came with no system disks...
Depending on how unixy you are with OS X, you'll want a SSH client for the 530; I use Nifty Telnet SSH <http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonasw/freeware/niftyssh/>
I routinely run MacDraw and MacWrite on my 540, Graphics Converter, bunch of stuff.
The key, though, is memory, and unfortunately it costs: a 32 Meg upgrade is $79 at Data Memory Systems. But that gets you 36 megs total, which is enough to do quite a bit.
Drives, too are pricey because they're SCSI. You can find adapters to use IDE drives but they cost more than the thing is worth.

I'm not unixy at all frankly. I'm an everyday user who's probably getting in over his head with this 'book. I'm a swimmer though, so I'll survive.
I have 20MB of RAM installed, and a 326 MB HD.
Like I said before, I'm not spending money on this if I can afford it. I'd probably be better off with a 1400 if I want to start spending...
