No, your IIcx will not be "raped" by System 7.0. Should you get it? Well, do you want to take advantage of a tremendous new amound of standard Macintosh functionality? I say you should. Some people will hesitate to upgrade at first -- doing so is only natural. I really can't say I remember people complaining when System 5.0 came out with MultiFinder...when HyperCard came out?! Anyhow, if you have 4MB, that gives you about 2.5 MB free of real RAM (am I correct here?), and of course, you can use Virtual Memory, which means the memory size of your IIcx (since it's not 32-Bit "clean") can be something like 17MB (unless you have more cards in NuBus slots).
