Yes. It just worked so very well. Stable, and with Speed Doubler running
(made a huge difference- without it I'd have lost patience and upgraded
ages ago) the finder fairly steams along. The machine is lovely and slick
and I never had any reason to upgrade. What's happening now is that I am
beginning to need (read "want") extra bits which say they need 7.5.3 or
above, so I may as well go to sys 8. Especially as my experience of other
Macs running 7.5.5 is that they work no better than 7.5.2/Speed Doubler.

This isn't nearly as bad as that- but it can't be the applications I am
using because they are mostly the same all the time.

I shall live with it and upgrade soon.
