There have been many. many complaints about the power supply in the LC which is often described by reviewers and users as "anemic".  Many of us remember the crummy power supply in the Mac Plus which was well know for needing replacement.  I know several people who had to replace their Mac Plus power suply 2 and 3 times at a cost of several hundred dollars each time.  If I were to buy an LC I would expect to have a decent power supply that I wouldn't have to worry about replcaing.  I doubt very much that a 







power supply is an expensive item.  If they can do it for the SE/30 surely they can do it for the LC.  BTW I don't want an si or ci, I have an SE/30 with 24 bit color and am happy with that.  I > * Origin: Don's Point, Get it? (1:109/421.3425)
