Just to add anecdotes to the fray, I've noticed that the computer store advertisements in the L.A. Times have largely stopped listing the Classic. When the new machines were introduced, the stores were pushing both the Classic and the IIsi. Now they only mention the IIsi. My guess is that they're backlogged with Classic orders and see no more reason to advertise them. -- Dan Rose {ucbvax,decvax,akgua,dcdwest}!sdcsvax!beowulf!rose.uucp UC San Diego rose%cs@ucsd.edu
