Just out of curiousity, why do you want to buy a IIx? As far as I can tell, the IIcx is an identical processor, costs less, and takes up less desk space. The only reason I can see to buy the IIx is because you want more than 3 expansion slots, but I'm hard pressed to figure out what you would put in them. Obviously, 1 slot is for a video card, a second might be for ethernet, and you still have one slot for some sort of special purpose co-processor (lisp machine, graphics processor, etc). Beyond that, I just don't see what you might want to put in a Mac. I'm not flaming you for your choice, I'm just curious. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"
