  Drawing table? Heck they went into production last week at CBM's newest
  plant in Moscow. Irving and Gorby struck up a deal for low wages and to
  keep it a secret from Apple and Compute (Seems CBM wont let Computes
  printer let this one leak out) - in excahnge CBM is giving the USSR
  school system 400,000 of the most techo wenie computers that CBM has
  ever made, the Plus 4!

  If the CCC (Communist Communications Commision) approval can be gotten,
  (and I hear its only a matter of giving them a few thousand C-16's) the
  3000 should hit dealers shelfs in about 3 weeks. Of course the first ones
  will be using the Russan shipping boxs and not use the new American
  boxes (which have amuch nicer logo). Also the RSCS (Really Super Chip Set)
  that offers 5 Meg Agnus, 3.2 million colors in HAM mode, and 2000 x 4000
  flicker free display will not be included. These first run machines will
  however have a STALIN tower so the 030 can be used (seems there was a
  slight design problem not found until it was just too darn late).

  It comes with a built in 386sx chip and Janus 3.6 software standard. Now
  you no longer need a bridgecard. The new improved TOWER case also has
  a much larger power light and power supply to drive this light.

  Hey thats a secret yet!
