Slow?!  I have an LC and a PowerMac and use a Pentium.  My PPC is MUCH
faster than the Pentium, and about 10 times faster than the LC.  If you
use plainold 68k code wiht a PowerMac, you still get '040 speeds - and the
PPC code is between 6-14 times fater than the fastest Quadra!

My LC crashed about 3 times a week (I am a power-user and I fiddle a lot)
and my PPC crashes less!  With the low prices of RAM, that little 4MB is
nothing.

Well, I suppose if all you are doing is elemantary processing, than the LC
should do just fine.
