The six slot platform is still the power platform. The small jump provided by the 25 Mhz IIci is just a transient glitch in the natural order (IMHO). 'Sides, if you want real (6 slot) power (and I can say this because this isn't "secret, inside" info), just wait until spring! I haven't seen Apple's business plans, but I can't think of any reason why they would not offer an upgrade to current II,IIx users, and frankly, they would be crazy not to. The only real question is, can you afford it? Ira Rampil Dept Anesthesia UCSF disclaimer: ( 14Hrs post quake - Shaken but not stirred! ;-) )
