Re: What do you do with an Apple //?

[Dave Morrison <deth@healey.com.au>]

There's nothing wrong with my P166..It flies. Of course 10 times is an exaggeration but I should have been 
more clear. I was really referring to boot time. I'm a bodybuilder and use Appleworks to archive diet, 
training etc which I need to check certan things numerous times a day. There's no way that you can say a P166 
will boot from scratch, load windows, then go into Word97 then load a file faster than a 1 MHz ][e will load 
Appleworks from scratch. Thats all I was referring to. Its a lot quicker to boot and view what I need as I 
dont leave the computers running all day.
