:I disagree.  If you don't have a MacSE or a MacII, you don't need volume V.

Without IV, how do you learn to deal with HFS, SCSI, Zoom boxes, etc?
Without V, how do you learn to deal with new TextEdit (and whatever
else non-II or non-SE that was added if anything)?

No, you don't >need< IV or V for a lot of stuff, but you won't be able
to do things (easily) that you see other people doing -- not because
you don't have the machine, but because you don't know how they work.
