Yep that gets into the cost effectiveness angle. A fellow can get a IIgs box
or two for what a workstation card would cost, and get far more bang for the
buck. Same reason why I got a Quadra 840av instead of upgrading my Quadra 700,
and why I'll also shop around for a used '040 Powerbook before I'll consider
paying the outlandish prices people want for upgrades for 100 series Powerbooks
like my 165.
