Yeah, the screen is usable but really not so good. My question: why does this thing take so long to boot and do things? My 16mhz SE/30 that doesn't use the complicated RISC architecture can boot 7.5 in a third of the time (with extensions) that this can do with 100mhz for OS 7.6 I don't know - I started getting into these Macs because my System 6 Classic can boot faster than I can tie a shoe, and I can get typing in nanoseconds, it seems. For what I'm trying to do, the PB seems like a step backwards. but I do love the form factor, and the keyboard isn't so bad so it may become my portable writing machine.
