While playing in the orchestra of a nearby university, I noticed that, while there were quite a few computers around, every single computer in the music building which I saw, and it doesn't matter whether the computers were in an office, or belonged to students or faculty, every single computer was a Mac. Both laptops and desktops were from Apple. I'm not kidding. It was both surprising and gratifying. The library is another matter but in the music building, Mac's reign.
I have never, not once had a problem with Classic, and I use Nisus Writer 6.5 as my word processer all the time, as well as sharing a printer through Classic's USB printer sharing control panel.
I wasn't testing either my linux machine or my G5. I was telling some windows user that, contrary to his absurd claims, old Macs don't take 20 minutes to copy files.

So that explains why I had to go to EWU's library to find a Linux instillation CD, that wasn't scratched beyond usability.

We dual citizens don't like it.

Might you have read 20 seconds as 20 minutes?
Seriously, here are some results I just got with a few file copying tests:
Powerbook 1400 G3 233Mhz 64MB Ram 1GB hard drive.
14.9MB file 12.5 seconds.
88.9MB folder 1:24 minutes.
Power Tower 180 604 195Mhz 96MB Ram 2GB hard drive.
39.6MB folder 49 seconds.
14.9MB file 13 seconds.
64MB folder 1:53 minutes.
PowerMac 6100 601 60Mhz 72MB Ram 2GB hard drive.
18.6 folder 55 seconds.
14.1 file 11 seconds.
