Actually will be picking up another LCII next weekend (and am thinking of getting another one later on). I like the simplicity of the design and for what I use older Macs for (educational titles), they're not only perfect in terms of how much power they have, they're also the quintessential machine for education programs due to their ubiquity in schools.

Also underrated is the 12" RGB. It may have a quirky 512 x 384 resolution, but it's not too far off from the compacts and has a nice fullscreen touch for some programs which otherwise would run inside a window on a 640 x 480 monitor. The way it matches the LC itself (also the IIsi) is also great.

Nice Bronner's reference!!! Actually went there 20 years ago, went to Frankenmuth en route to Duluth and stopped there. Thinking of heading up that way in October for a nice weekend at the Bavarian Inn with some fine food to go along with it. It's the closest thing to actually going to Mittenwald
