Actually, Apple does stupid things like this, so >maybe we will all get free Mac II's! Well I don't want to exchange my GS for a Mac II.. if someone were to just GIVE me a Mac II I'd take it (and use it, not sell it immediately).. Some of the graphic things on the Mac II are kinda neat actually.. (There was some kind of program [maybe a desk accessory] I saw on a housemate's Mac II which was borrowed from work (Apple)... It was some kind of 3-D demo that was really colorful.. I think you went through a tunnel or something.. We basically described it as "a 90s lava lamp" because you could just sit and watch this thing for like 10 minutes without any drugs and be going "oooh...wow") I just saw an ad during "Twin Peaks" from Apple ABOUT THEIR NEW COMPUTERS! They showed them! So the October 15th date really means nothing... They -HAVE- announced them already. And they even officially said (through some guy at the school bookstore I harrassed about Apple's double-standard "nondisclosure" policy) they were announcing new Macs on the 15th... (a few weeks ago he said this) Back to the quoted stuff... If I could exchange my GS for a Mac II, I guess I would because then I could sell it and get a couple of GSes (one for school and one for home so I don't have to keep transporting it!) -- / Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu \ \"If cartoons were meant for adults, they'd be on in prime time."-Lisa Simpson/
