Message-ID: <8655.apple.net.info-apple@pro-harvest> Date: 25 May 90 22:32:45 GMT Article-I.D.: pro-harv.8655.apple.net.info-apple Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 19 In-Reply-To: message from toddpw@tybalt.caltech.edu Someone recently said that PAing new hard & soft ware for the II or Mac would be bad business, and would give the competiton a better chance of releasing a counter-product. Some things should be kept a secret, like new special use CPUs and new hardware developments (like the Video Overlay Card). Other things NEED to be PAed, and I mean NOW! It would help if Apple said someting like "...we are definately working on a new Apple II design...", or "...the Apple IIGS Systems Disk 5.0.3/6.0 will be available for Xmas...". I really can't see IBM rushing out their own version of Systems 5.0.3/6.0.

Send me questions, comments, and anything else I might find interesting.
