I to have an LC, and I can find no instances that would back up the
suggestion that the ROM has been crippled.  The limitations that
the LC does have can easily be justified by the price I paid for it.  Every
piece of commercial software that I have tried, and most of the
shareware stuff from Sumex works without a hitch.

I suspect that the people who are having problems with the LC are people
that have pirated old software, and thus are not able to run the
correct versions of the software without having to go out and buy it.

For a 'low-end starter' color machine, its great!
