>which means there will be upgrades
available someday.

MacWeek says that Apple will have a 68030 upgrade available for the LC
and the Classic sometime this fall.

I don't completely agree with your enthusiasm for the LC, I have seen alot 
of software compatibility problems with it.  Also the power supply is way too
small, intentionally crippled by Apple to prevent 3rd party upgrades.  

>The LC is also aimed squarely at 80386SX
Windows boxes, and it frequently beats them on both price and performance.

Well the educational price isn't bad but the dealer price is horrendous from 
what I have seen.  Local dealers are selling it for $3200.00 w/2 megs Ram/40 megHD and that crummy little 12 inch color monitor.  Thats pretty ridiculous.
Educational price is almost half that.  I have also read that Apple has licensedat least one computer "superstore" to sell the Classic/SE30/LC/IIsi.  It will bevery interesting to see what happens to prices then!  I'm sure that a superstore can give the same level of support as a regualr dealer which from what I have seen is non-existent.
