Memory on the IIsi is expandable to 17m using 4 meg SIMMs, and
is compatible with future 16meg SIMMs. Do you need slow NuBus
memory if those 16meg SIMMs become available?

Rumor is several 3rd party vendors are working on bus expanders.
If the quantities of IIsi's reported to be shipping are correct
I suspect they're working hard.

Do you need extra slots, really? I work with spreadsheets, Think C.
telecom programs, misc. utilities, and the only thing I can think
of are a 24 bit video card or a two page b&w card.

Yes, with more slots, I could have both. But I find it hard to
believe my finances could really extend to both.

The non FPU isn't really a question, if you use your slot for
anything, you have an FPU. If you don't you can buy a slot adaptor
to get one, or wait a while. Third party vendors are *bound* to
offer an FPU board. Therefore, if you're worrying about your slot 
usage, you neednt worry about the FPU.
