Stephane,

Sorry, I thought you were from Belgium ;-)
Just kidding. I know there are some genuine French (and Belgian) developers
who contribute to the list and I am quite happy with that. My statement was
a bit extreme. But still, they are only a few and I wish there was more. You
cannot not agree with that.

Anyway, I think you should definitely switch to the Mac Classic, 3"1/2 disk
are much better than 5"1/4 and System 7.0 is really nice to use.

Cheers,

Bertrand
