Hi,
This question has probably been asked before, but I don't follow this 
newsgroup.  I'm thinking about buying an LC.  I'm too poor for an IIsi,
and for my purposes (word processing, some small programs) a IIsi would
go to waste.  My concern is, will the LC be able to run System 7.0?
I know it won't have the virtual memory capabilities, since the LC doesn't
have an MMU, but it seems like you should still be able to multitask 
without one.  But if the LC can't run System 7.0, it seems to me that all
the LCs sold now will become orphaned in a couple of years.  Incidentally,
I have heard MANY conflicting stories about this issue.  Does anyone have
the real story on this?
Thanks in advance,
Scott Kell
