Not true.  All of the Toolbox is available on a Macintosh XL.  I
personally have used Quickdraw on the XL and it is all there and
it all works.  I have found that my XL will run software without
problems with the exception of some public domain games and such
that rely on memory locations and other hardware quirks and don't
go through the proper interfaces.  (Speed goes with kludgeness :-)).

Anyway I hope that you don't really bring your new XL back without
just because it looks just like a Lisa 2/10.  After all, the Lisa
wasn't such a bad machine (:-))...
