It DOES seem that someone at Apple got carried away and told the press
before "calling Federal" (or UPS, whomever).

Speaking of Vaporware, I've got to get around to posting my column before
all the rumors come true ;-) don't I?

Evidently, you CAN download System 5.0 from Compuserve or Genie, its the
dubious user docs (all $49 worth) that you can't get off the dealers shelves.
Have the dealers at least seen the press release?

I suppose, next someone's going to tell us that "the check's in the mail" :-)
