I fully agree. It's just a well-rounded classic operating system with a myriad of great software to pick from. If I see what owners of 68k Amigas or Atari STs suggest as productivity software on their systems and then I look at Word 5.1, WriteNow, Excel, Photoshop, Apple Works, BBEdit (the list goes on) I can barely hold back a smile. Yeah, they may have more and better (action) games but that's about it. System 7 is awesome and also very reliable if you stick with certain versions.
