    I came across an old Apple Powerbook 190 the other day that was going to be thrown away, so I decided to see what it would do. It works fine, but for some reason freezes whenever I try to change the desktop font in the Views control panel. It's running System 7.5.2 and has a screaming 33Mhz 68040 CPU (and here I am being sarcastic), so if anyone still knows a lot about these old machines I'd appreciate any help.
