Regardless of the speed of EndNote on a LCIII compared to a LCII, buy a
LCIII: the difference in price is nothing compared to the difference in
speed.  A LCIII runs at 25 mhz compared to 16 mhz for a LCII and the LCIII
has a 32 bit data bus compared to a 16 bit for the LCIII.

The LCIII is faster than a IIci, which is very good.  I bought a LCIII when
they came out last february, and it is a great computer for the price.

Everybody I know that have a LCII are almost willing to pay the $500-600 to
upgrade it to a LCIII.
