I was poking at 7.1.1 Pro out of curiosity, since one of my disk images had it for some reason. (I'm already sold on 7.1 with the System Update and everything, very aware of Pro's reputation and status.) However, I noticed that the startup time is abysmal, even on zero-wait Mac II-family emulators. Even After Dark screensavers seem to hitch a bit, indicating context switches to some kind of background process. What did they stuff the System File with? Is this the true power of PowerTalk?
look ma, no wires

Sigh. I once had a PowerBook 100. Bought it for ≈£320 in spring/summer 1996. Loved it. I had an external FD for it. The 40MB HD did start to die after a few years, but I was able to repartition it as a 29MB drive.

Preparing this guy to go out for a recap including taking two jumbo antistatic bags and combining into an uberantistaticbag!

Look at how much elbow room all those PLCCs have... That's one nice PCB layout.

@luRaichu The Plus/SE era machines with the big traces and pre-SMT designs are beautiful. Especially how all the traces are tinned and silvery looking in the SE, or at least on mine. That accelerator you routed makes me want a Plus, if I ever get the space for one.
