[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Ideal Mac System

c3ar@zaphod.uchicago.edu (Walter C3arlip) (04/13/90)

About six months ago, someone posted a question along the following lines:

     What is the best Macintosh System available for $5000-$6000?

There were several interesting, useful replies.  Now that Apple has
released the new IIfx, I would like to pose the question again.  
Although a IIfx is beyond the price ceiling proposed, the question arises:
would it be better to get a Mac IIx with the idea of possibly upgrading to
an fx later or is the IIcx or IIci a better buy?  Can anyone speculate on
the likelihood that Apple will produce an fx-like upgrade for the IIcx/IIci
in the foreseeable future?

You can assume educational discount prices and need not reserve a budget
for software.
