Just picked up the Oct. 15 issue of BusinessWeek magazine which has
a cover story on Apple Computer. They say the following about the
new Macs:

	Mac Classic: 68000
		     1 meg., 1 floppy    $999
		     2 meg., floppy 
		     and hard disk      $1499     available October 15

	Mac LC:      68020
		     2 meg., floppy,
		     hard disk + color monitor    $3098   available Oct. 15

	Mac IIsi:    68030
		     2 meg., floppy,
		     80 meg. hard disk    $3769   available January 1991

All prices are list and in US dollars. The Classic replaces the Plus and SE.
The LC also has one expansion slot and is described as being in a "pizza-box"
package. It is intended to go up against the IBM PS/2 model 55SX. The IIsi
is intended to displace the SE/30 which, for now, gets a big price cut.
