REVISION OF FIGURES: I booted the SE (it's still on, in case I need to test anything else). Microsoft Word 4 took 1 minute 45 seconds, whereas TeachText took 10 seconds.

And also, the SE has 4 MB of RAM.

So I guess that a re-installation of the system will do some good. But, tell me, how does a re-installation help? I mean, I know it does, since the Centris 610 needed one, too, but how does re-installing an OS help? Do OSes expire?

Thanks,
