No, your IIcx will not be "raped" by System 7.0.
Should you get it?  Well, do you want to take advantage of a tremendous
new amound of standard Macintosh functionality?  I say you should.

Some people will hesitate to upgrade at first -- doing so is only
natural.  I really can't say I remember people complaining when System 5.0
came out with MultiFinder...when HyperCard came out?!

Anyhow, if you have 4MB, that gives you about 2.5 MB free of real RAM
(am I correct here?), and of course, you can use Virtual Memory,
which means the memory size of your IIcx (since it's not 32-Bit "clean")
can be something like 17MB (unless you have more cards in NuBus slots).
