- Also don't forget that you can add alot more memory to a IIsi than you can to
- an LCII. My sister has an LCII and I have a IIsi. The IIsi is much faster and
- I don't have an FPU or cache card (neither does she). If a person is choosing
- between these two computers and they're almost the same price, I'd say they'd
- be crazy not to buy the IIsi. Of course, I'd also say they should wait for the
- new computers to come out in February before deciding.
