	I am in the position to purchase a new computer in the next 6 months.  I will use my system for the basic word processing, database, spreadsheet, and some recreation stuff.  I also must have Ethernet (true bona-fide 10Mbits/sec) because the dorm I reside in at college has E-net - it makes computer class 
Alot easier!  I come from the MS-DOS world and I am converting over to apple
because of alot of reasons.  I also would use my computer for programming in
pascal and down the road C++.
	Well, I am trying to decide among an SE/30 or the Mac IIsi or ci.  I 
love the integrated SE/30 I think it is great.  but the IIsi has great color 
for an out-of-the-box-system.  I would also like to be able to run UNIX if the
need arises.  Which should I buy? - One of the computer I owned in the past was
an IBM PCjr, and as you know, IBM just up and left the jr users - I would not 
to get an SE/30 only to let apple up and leave the classic one piece design
macs for the Mac II line.
	I was just wondering which computer do you think would fit what I 
described better.  But I must have Ethernet.
		thanx for the help
