I disagree. The Classic offered several improvements over the Plus (not the least of which was that, like the SE, the video circuitry required less contention of the memory: see the benchmark at http://www.lowendmac.com/benchmarks/plus.shtml : CPU = 0.87). If, in 1990, you wanted more speed in an all-in-one compact Mac, you had to buy a SE/30, not a SE; the introduction of the Classic did nothing, and was intended to do nothing, to change this. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
