Agreed, but...the Mac IIsi is a color Mac.  ;-)

I think the above user has to reinstall MacOS.  Most likely,
he must have acidentally dragged some major OS
component to the trash.  Unlike Windows 95, a MacOS
reinstall will not destroy program links since the Mac, like
the IIGS, does not have a rigid registry (I absolutely
HATE that registry).  The MacOS way of keeping track
of things, like the GS/OS Desktop files, are wonders
in contrast.  They dynamically rebuild themselves if
deleted or missing.
