I'd throw out the Mac LC III, get an Uthernet for the IIgs,
plug the Uthernet into your Router, and use the IIgs to get
files straight from the internet itself. It works great and
will help Glenn to do even bigger and better things like USB
for the IIgs, and maybe the IIe as well. Also, the Uthernet
works on the IIe, too.
