Message-ID: <8436@crash.cts.com> Date: 7 Apr 91 10:56:12 GMT Sender: root@crash.cts.com Lines: 18 Gee Wizz. Does TWGS'ed Mac IIfx mean an accerated (sp?) Mac or a GS with a TWGS board? Just wondering. It's not that Apple II technology isn't competitive (a well equiped GS is on par with a fast '386 running Windows, yet a GS can be purchased as minimal as a fast //e), it's just that Apple can't set a reasonable price or market the machine. For the least advertised PC of all time to sell for 14 years (so far) is beyond anything I could have ever imagined before II-dom. The II is especially well suited to some applications because of superior performance in area like high speed disk access and sound synth. I don't expect the II to last "forever", but the year 2000 isn't unreasonable. ---- ProLine: crew.wicklein@pro-midnightex Internet: crew.wicklein@pro-midnightex.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-midnightex!crew.wicklein ARPA: crash!pro-midnightex!crew.wicklein@nosc.mil
