I like it, of course. The best part about having system 7 is that I no longer feel compelled to check ftp.apple.com at odd hours of the night. Some comments. I'll try not to repeat what's been said before. * I made some aliases in the Apple Menu Items folder to programs on a different volume. The icons disappeared after I rebuilt the desktop. * Balloon help is nice, but I wish they offered different levels of help. I imagine something which would show me only application specific balloons. This would complicate the interface, but it would allow me to get help on, say, Microsoft Excel without getting balloons I don't need like, "Close Box: To close this window, click here." Maybe a "Ballon Help Preferences..." menu item? * Icon colorization is done very nicely. Is there any reason it colorizes B/W icons in the old fashion? * One bomb. The new finder lets you open up old systems as suitcases, but it seems to crash when you try to do something to it. I tried opening my 6.0.5 system file and pull out a font, and the machine hung. -Sho -- sho@physics.purdue.edu <<-- able to sleep soundly at last.
