	As chronicles by many others, as well as myself, most of Apple's
manufacturing capability has been oriented towards producing Mac Classics and
Mac IIsi's in mass quantity for today's big intro.

	Rumor:  Mac SE sales continued to be rather brisk during the
last month - enough that Apple may not have enough SEs, and will ship
Classics to some buyer instead (approval of buyer needed, of course).

	But, on the other hand, Apple folks have said that their
facilities can still make SEs and IIcx's for those who truly have need
(and cash?)

	As usual, the rumors are all lies.  Damn lies.
