Well, money may be the name of the game. 

Now that the Mac is finally making some money for Apple, it can support the
development of some new RISC-based machine or something equally
state-of-the-art that will blow the Mac away; and all the MacNuts can have
their turn at complaining...  Technology marches on.

BTW, I see that Apple is now offering rebates on their computers.  Low and
behold, I see that the Apple IIGS is also included this time... There's a $150
rebate being offered.  I'm impressed; I'm sure this will help sell quite a few
GS's (gawd, I even saw an AD in the paper!).  Good move.

I also noticed that the Mac Plus has a $200 rebate; it looks like if you shop
around you can pick up one of these toasters for under a $1000.  Unloading
time???

Apparently Apple is resurrecting their famous "Test Drive a Mac" campaign, on
top of all this rebate stuff.  "Test Drive a Toaster...."
