Macintosh system software version 7.5

Before you can install QuickDraw GX or PowerTalk, you need to upgrade
your Macintosh system software to version 7.5.

System 7.5 includes new features that enhance productivity and make it easier
to work with other users. Features include enhanced compatibility with DOS
and Windows files and disks, the ability to move information by dragging and
dropping, step-by-step guidance for learning and completing tasks, and the
ability to automate tasks. You also get Finder enhancements, such as
submenus for the Apple menu, a menu-bar clock, more colorful screen
patterns, an improved Find File command, automatic tracking of recently
used items, and on-screen notes.
