Even today, the most popular Macs sold are the 68000 versions: Mac SE and Mac+ 
so I don't think you have much to worry about for awhile.  You may have to
upgrade to 4 Megs of RAM (Getting cheap to do these days), or buy a larger
hard disk.  Of course some of the high end color/CAD type applications will
be out of your league but that doesn't seem to be your business anyway.

Now, I'm in trouble: Mac 512KE upgraded to 1 Meg and a SCSI port. I can't 
upgrad to more RAM without "great pain".
