Whoa!  UNTRUE!

I too received the literature today and because of all the fuss decided to 
read it.

First of all you get a four page letter (2 double sided sheets of paper), 
a glossy folder showing various screens and a "SAVE THIS CARD" card.

THE LETTER:

    The very first time ANY computer is mentioned is the bottom of the 
    second pageand the IIgs is FIRST.

    Half way down the third page is a paragraph on the IIgs.

GLOSSY BROUCHER:

    Second screen is a IIgs screen and a paragraph which starts out
    With the Apple IIgs . . . 

    At the bottom of the flyer is a picture of the IIgs with the Mac Plus, 
    SE and SE/30.

SAVE THIS CARD

    Twice on the front and once on the back is the statement to the affect 
    that the following computer qualify

    	Apple IIgs, Macintosh Plus, etc, 

This whole conversation has been funny up to now, but my god we have a 
bunch of paranoid people on this feed!  If we could only challenge that 
energy into a more positive fashion we would really have some clout.
