Color QuickDraw and gigantic memory maps are the only things that lock them out of using some programs, the rest work great. As for things coming out for `old' machines, look at Apple's newest offerings. The Macintosh Portable is also lacking Color QuickDraw and a big memory map. Any well written software which will run on the Portable will still run on my Plus. Do you really think publishers are going to write-off the Portable and all those Pluses and SEs? Not quite yet. My bottom-of-the-line Plus will run the same programs as the sexiest Macintosh out there. -- Kent Borg "This and being born are the 2 damndest kent@lloyd.uucp things that ever happened to me." or -Resident of McClellenville, SC, ...!husc6!lloyd!kent referring to Hurricane Hugo (from NPR)
