The reason I posted this question is that I was told of a deal that Apple
is offering to "trade in" your Apple II for an LC.  The Apple IIe emulator
card allows you to run most of your existing IIe software on your LC.  The
reason why people (in the Scientific Community or elsewhere) would want
to upgrad is that they now have two computers in one (so to speak), and
they can draw upon two pools of software.  Sounds pretty logical to me.
