	Are any of the Macs so close in abilities that they are analogous
to the 'upgrade' from the ROM 01 to ROM 03 GS?  I think they just dropped
one a few weeks ago that really wasn't much different.. a few hundred
more bucks (when you're that expensive already, a few hundred doesn't make
much difference! heh) and you greatly improved the abilities.. So I think
the lower one wasn't selling well.. This was the IIcx and IIci or something
like that. (probably wrong here)


	Your statements about how the GS would be perfect for where the
PS/1 is supposed to go are correct. HELL, I would'nt care TOO MUCH
if they advertized it as the 'inexpensive computer with the Mac
interface'.. AS LONG AS THEY ADVERTIZE IT.. And whoever wrote it release
the (finished) Excel workalike program they wrote!  {As an aside, I call
it the APPLE interface rather than the MAC interface.. Yeah, I guess if
we were totally technical, I'd call it the Xerox/PARC interface, but oh
well}
