I'm considering giving up my 512K Mac for a Mac XL with the intent 
of gaining:

o	10 MB of fast internal disk
o	1 MB of memory
o	unknown additional advantages?

but am concerned about several issues:

o	I keep hearing rumors that Apple is "going to be fixing" the 
incompatible pixel problem.  I thought that this was fixed with running 
under MacWorks.  Can anybody set me straight on this?

o	I understand that some Mac programs will NOT work correctly 
under MacWorks.  Does anybody know which ones, and why, and moreover 
what restrictions are involved?

o	How does the Finder limitations of # files/speed of accessing 
large numbers of files dealt with, considering the hard disk?

o	...

	I'd be very interested in any insights from people who are 
already using Mac XLs about the pros and cons of making this move.

Thanks!
