I'd buy one in a New York minute. I'm already nearly out of slots on my

To bring this back
Speaking of the topic of expandability, I also find it downright maddening
how Apple continues bottlenecking the expandability options. The first Mac
I ever even saw in person was the Grape iMac(I'm serious, we used TRS80s and
DOS PCs when I was in school), and I hated it because, where was I s

OK, OK, I see that I deserved that, at least to some extent, for
having made the mistake of closely comparing the LC and the II. I was

Hmmm. I wonder if there's any way to squeeze the IIsi ROM in there
and see what happens...

IIsi ROMs can be placed inside SE/30s to make them "32 bit clean". I don't know if
the LC
has socketed ROM. I have an LCIII I am trying to decide what to

I not sure that this belongs here, but can anyone recommend a decent (free?

That's because of the funky 64pin SIMMs and the fact
