- La la land I think. This was my beef with the LCII: WHY in the name of
- intellegence did Apple retain a memory chip that only sees a maximum
- of 10MB of RAM when you can put 12MB in the machine?
- Apple should have delayed the LCII long enough to either 1) replace
- the memory chip or 2) go back back to 2MB on the motherboard instead of
- 4MB.

- The LCII was a good idea that got slightly mangled in between
- the design and building stage. The LCIII is supposed to fix some of the
- hardware bugs of the LCII; hopefully the 10MB problem is one of them.
