- Will it have a cache card ?. If it does, it'll be just the machine i need,

- a minor limitation of lake of expandability, but i bet dgr will adapte the
- expansion box they have designed for the LC, LCII to fit on an LCIII.

- Let's pray that Apple will provide an LC --> LCIII upgrade. I think that
- $500 is expensive, but i'll pay 'em (gulp), it's still less expensive than
- trying to purchase an accelerator card.
