Thanks, I've heard mostly good things about them.  Perhaps I
should order a handful!  :-)

I was looking through some old notes earlier today while I
was thinking about what machine to buy.  The IIci seemed to
make more sense than the IIsi, and should be faster than a
IIcx.  The IIvx doesn't appeal to me and I don't know much
about the IIvi.  It might be interesting to pick up a IIci
along with the Q700, just for comparison.

Out of interest, what makes you prefer the IIci to the Q700?

I've been given a Mac SE that I may use as a serial
terminal.

That's music to my ears!  :-)
