Everything on both sides of the divide seemed like crap in those days as compared to later machines. The only thing about the PB100 that wasn't up to the Apple 100 Series standard was the post they used instead of a third roller for the trackball. LOVE that smaller trackball to death! I transitioned into the Duo System afterward and the PowerBook 100 was the perfect break in tool for the Duos. Luckily I treated myself to APS' Modem, 230MB HDD and 8MB Memory upgrades almost immediately. MS Works for DOS under SoftPC was the cat's meow until the release of ClarisWorks 3.
