How much memory do you have in it anyway?  My Dad's Powerbook 100 2/20 was
basically useless under Sys 7 due to no memory and enemic harddisk and he
switched it back to Sys 6.  A shame because all the neat keyboard tricks in
Sys 7 make it ideal for a Powerbook.

To my opinon, Sys 7 doesn't seem fast on *any* Mac.  I don't quite know what
it is but the Mac just *seems* slower.  The only problem is that besides the
frequent crashes under Sys 7 it's just so damn useful that you want to keep
it.
