No. It's true that you can't do much on a Compact Mac.
Even the venerable SE/30 is limited.
The thing that makes it satisfying, however, is that
it is "do-able".
>From 1987-1991, how many P.C.s have a GUI? And how
many of THOSE can email and do a tiny bit of
websurfing?
I email on a Mac Plus from time to time with nothing
more than a pair of floppy drives. IT was and is the
level of technology in the Macs and that OS that makes
the "Toasters" still soft-spots in our hearts. They
deserve to be preserved. And after 20-plus years,
that's the reason we still collect and use them.
