I got to see a IIcx this morning - and WOW!!!  The system is nicely laid-out,
and the contents of the box are very neat.  The sound is better (bigger
speaker than the II), the reset/interrupt buttons are at the front (although
the hardware buttons themselves are about 2 inches set back inside the case!)
so they are at last easy to get at.  The power on/off button locks so that
it will re-start if it is powered off ( they say in their blurb that this
will be of great use if people use it for unattended file-servers).  I'm
not sure that I can afford one (seeing the prices that they're intending
to charge for it here I _know_ I can't afford one) but it sure was nice!
I think I better start saving up for my SE/30 upgrade instead!
