According to the 01.08.91 issue of MacWEEK, Apple's immediate (about as immediate as System 7.0; release this summer) plans for a '040 Mac is the Tower. It is expected to be running at 25-Mhz with built-in Ethernet, 5 NuBus slots, 4 SCSI connectors, 600-watt power supply and have a base price less than $10,000. Using 4-Mbyte SIMMs, it will also have room for 64 Mbytes of RAM. Is it real, or is it Memorex? John -- John A.
