The LC range was designed to be cheap computers for education for the most part. You have to look at them in that context. They couldn't be too fast or they would compete directly with Apple's higher end models and they couldn't be too feature laden or the price would be beyond what most schools could afford to pay. The LC III+ was one of the better models in the series, so it is surprising that anyone should have a negative comment to make about it.

As for the remark that you find it surprising that the LC III and III+ should be available at the same time when the only substantial difference was the speed of the CPU, why not? That is like saying that the Powermac G4's should have only been available with one CPU speed. Why bother having 3 or 4 models out at the same time with the only difference being clock speed or number of CPU's? Why not just sell one model and simplify things? Having 25 and 33mhz LC's on the market at the same time is no different than having 466, 533, 733 and dual 533 Digital Audio's on the market at the same time.

And your site does look an awful lot like old-computers.com. A little too much like it.
