i'm not entirely turning the lights off on the mac ii,
but i do have an alternative,
so i would say that you can probably abandon stuff this old.

Well, I use a Classic (4mg, 7.1) and while slow and colour-free, it does 75
percent of what I want. FB 2 works fine on it. While I can see the logic of
not endlessly making software backward compatible, if it can be done
without crippling the product, it should. As far as I know, FB is the only
powerful compiled BASIC that runs on the 68000. I hope it stays that way.

cheers, Paul
