	Well, I think it's safe.  Although I have only been running with 5.1/3.0
on my hard disk since its crash early Mon. morning, I have experienced no
problems whatsoever (and it's been used extensively ~15-18 hours/day).  I don't
think that the cache will work on any machine without the new ROMs.  If all the
Lisa owners pressure hard enough, Apple may just do a new MacWorks (especially 
if the old one is as buggy as it's reported to be regarding hard disks).  I for
one am not gonna keep quiet while Apple tries to forget our existence.  Speak up X/Lisa owners!  It's the only chance that we have to avoid obsolescence.
