[switching to a Mac LC, gives reasons,etc...]

There's nothing wrong in moving to the Mac. But one thing in your note
puzzled me. You were hoping for an upgrade path in the future. This is
very unlikely for the LC. It is the Mac+ of the modular Mac line. Keep
in mind that it has mono sound( unlike the MacII's), no 68881, and basically
no expansion). It's a nice computer, but for a bit more you can get a
MacIIsi with a full 32 bit bus( as opposed to the 16 bit data path in the
LC), easy installation of a math chip, NuBus slot,etc....

The Mac LC is not for doing many of the programs typically thought of for
a Mac II. It is not even recommended for using the professional version of
MathWriter 2.0( the only WYSIWYG technical word processor for the Mac).
