Yes, early 68k computers are really cool (I really wish I had a 128K or 512K Mac) but Joel would still probably be better served for what he wants to do with an LC 520 or higher (580s are quite snappy despite their lack of FPU, even in 7.5). He could keep the SE as a cool secondary computer, though, and make a simple LocalTalk network with a null modem cable.
