I am looking at buying a IIsi...my problem is deciding between a
2/40 configuration and a 5/80.  The reason I have doubts is price
difference.  My question is this:

Will I need the extra memory?  Will it affect performance?  How
large ARE Mac applications?

Will I need that much hard drive space?  How much space do normal
Mac applications take?

After 7 years with a //c, I deserve something like this :)  Please
help me make the correct decision.

By the way:  My uses will be telecommunication, graphics, word
processing, and games.  NO number crunching, possible use of 
SoftPC.

I *do* wish I could get an Apple// emulator...I have a LOT of //
software I'm familiar with (7 years' worth :)
