Somehow, I don't think of a Macintosh LC as an "early" Mac. The "early"
Macs pretty much pre-date the Macintosh II line. The LC came out almost
10 years AFTER the first Mac was released.

Of course an LC in relation to a 2009 Mac could be considered as "early"
but then the latter will be considered as an "early" Mac in just a few
more years by that definition.
