I agree with what you are saying - I used a 512k Mac to do desktop publishing
using Macwrite and MacPaint and it was elegant easy and efficient. WHat was
not efficient was the hard disk which was grindingly slow because it worked
through the serial port!
we aslo wished for 2 floppy drives because of ll the disc swapping that went
on, but the computer was great to use.
