It tells me that Apple has obsoleted the original Mac II in much the same way that Commodore obsoleted the 1000, and that those Mac II owners are seeking to upgrade to the IIx, IIcx, or IIci. It's similar to the batch of A1000 owners who moved to 2xxx series machines -- they weren't upset with Amigas, but wanted to move to newer hardware. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM
