Mac Classic prob (was Macintoshes...) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

I like system 6 much more than the later ones because I think it holds 
truer to the theory of simplicity and ease-of-use. Try sticking a MacOS 
8 system folder on a RAMdisk and boot off that! Will never work. System 
6 you could do that on, I've tried. Another feature of System 6 was a 
macro recorder which has been replaced by the more difficult 
Applescript. 
...
 I don't know of any other Macs with that feature
either, and I'll bet  that
...
 there were none.  It was a somewhat Spartan version
(not as unpleasant  as
...
 a boot floppy, much less pleasant than a fancy
hard-drive  installation).
...
 Now that Systems 7 and 8 have taken over, it probably
would seem pretty
barren.  It sure is fast though!  But none of your Finder preferences  get
...
 saved.  (Where would they go?) They could go to
PRAM, but I guess they didn't. What's the tag?
...
 BTW, if you "Get Info" on the virtual hard
drive, you'll see an amusing
tag in the "Location" field.
