System 7.5, and in turn system 7.6 (which was really nothing but an expensive bug fix/up-grade of system 7.5.5) has been very good. I personally find that if I am running software of the same manufacture era, and don't need to get on the internet, system 7.6.1 is flawless, and easy to maintain. Like you say, Norton of that era does a great job of keeping it up and running like a charm (and an occasional desktop rebuilding). I have always had a problem with the popular opinion that newest is always better. I can't imagine (and I will probably be flooded with outraged replies because I say this) trying to make a Mac take OS 9.2 or X that wasn't designed to run it. Why? Let it run on what it was made for. You will both be happier! Chuck -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
