Here are some of the advantages of the SE. 1) SE now has 1.4Mb floppy drive This is GREAT for backing up your hard disk. You don't have to feed the stupid thing disks so often. MEI Micro order center in Ohio is selling HD disks (generic) for 89 cents each. 2) SE's CPU is 10-20% faster I believe this is because of the dual-ported video ram, and the fact that the CPU does't need to baby the display. This is not a big deal. 3) SE disk is 1:2 interleave, MacPlus is 1:3 interleave In most situations, you will see faster disk throughput on the SE. This is important, since launching a program and saving a file are big time-sinks on the low-end machines. 4) SE's mouse / keyboard is nicer The new ADB mice & keyboards are nicer. The MacPlus mouse is harder to position. The MacPlus keyboard lacks a Control key. This is a pain in telecom programs.
