Haha - I ask myself the same thing - the short answer is nostalgia!
Getting the LC into our house in 6th or 7th grade was a life changer - just about everything to come afterwards has been tied to development / comp engineering and it started with this !%@!%@!# machine.
If only it could have been a IIci, or even a IIsi so I wouldn't be driven completely mad trying to get this thing dialed in and serviceable
