Sorry about posting the history lesson. I was trying to show that despite the Classic I and II being the successor to the Plus, SE/SE FDHD and SE/30, the latter isn't as stripped down for use. I still would use my SE/30 over a Classic II any day.
Keep in mind that the tidbits from Mac Secrets was written some time in 1998/1999, so the info is a bit dated. But still, you can't give credit where it's due, and David Pogue did a good job writing that series. I relearned a lot of stuff I could have easily missed out on. That, plus the fact that no links exist that I've searched around for, contain PDFs of the books to reference from. So I did the next best thing and pulled it out of my own copy.
Correct. Price is not as significant an issue compared to then. But I think we can all agree that the machine we want to buy is capable of doing what it needs to do and in the least amount of time. Sadly, I was too poor to afford a computer when they became available in the 80s and 90s, but waiting almost 15 to 20 years after that machine's creation allows you that luxury.
