	I read in some business magazine that Apple had said that it
would drop the SE/30 soon, as the new mac II si effectively replaces it.
What do you lot out there think of this? Is it true? Should it be true?

My personal feelings are that the SE/30 is a great machine: small yet
powerful. I don't want a big imposing box on my desk. And I want to be
able to take my Mac with me if I have to move.
Maybe Apple should just redesign the case in line with the Mac Classic,
rename it the Mac Classic 030 or Classic X, put a microphone on it, and
32 bit clean roms, but surely not discard it alltogether.
What about us users, who bought one just recently (it was released only
about a year and a half ago, wasn't it?). I wouldn't want to own a
discontinued machine. Let us have the clean roms as an upgrade, and use
MacRecorder.
