Well, all I can say here is that you are moving from an older obsolete machine
the GS to a newer obsolete machine the LC.  I've considered moving from the GS
to a MAC, but I can't afford to get a Mac system that is comparable to the
GS system I have, and also, I have used both the GS and MAC extensively, and
frankly, I like the GS better!  I mean just the way it does things like it
doesn't take as long to bring up a 3.5" disk on the desktop of the GS as
it does on the MAC, and just the way things "feel" on the GS, I dunno, 
I just like it better.
	Oh well, have fun with your mac, and I will be the first one to 
laugh at you mac-ies when apple abandons you guys too!
