1 meg isn't much! I'd go over to the Trading Post section and get the computer up to 4mb. Microsoft Word is dreadfully slow on these Macs. If you want a good word processor I'd go for WriteNow 3 or 4. If you can't find it, let me know.

6.0.8 should buzz right along with 4mb. Welcome to classic Macs! There's a lot of character in these little machines.

BTW - 30 seconds isn't bad for TeachText. Maybe someone else will chime in with a different experience.
