Well, let's face it - the IIfx (the absolute best of the Mac II series, 
bar none) was definitely a Cadillac among computers when it came out - 
and given a choice between an older Cadillac and a newer Hyundai - it's a 
no brainer.  The IIfx was/is an excellent computer, and it has style to 
boot.  My only regret is that I sold mine when I was preparing to move. 
<sigh>.  Still, I've got this great little Mac II I'm putting together 
with a Radius Rocket, so I am not wholly disconnent.

Pardon my ramblings.
