I'll have you know that my 512Ke running System 2.0 has the fastest
response time of any Mac I've ever met; it's pretty quick running System
6, too.  And how does booting *and* launching MacWrite in under 15
seconds grab you?

So maybe it *is* a museum piece; it doesn't hang about.

Curious - glad to know that there *is* a way of getting to talk to
someone with a brain at Apple.  Every time I tried ringing them on the
90 day free support business, I got no joy at all.
