Go ahead. Tell ME that I am wrong. |<<<< | |Apple could make a high end Apple II which is better than a low end Mac |(Okay, maybe even better than some of the middle range units). I doubt |they could make an Apple II which outperforms a Mac IIfx or a NeXT Station. |And if they could, would you be willing to pay $10,000 for it? |I don't want Apple to build a high end apple iigs, why should they? |The Mac is a good high end machine with lots of support from Motorola for the |future (68040, 68050, etc.) which we'll never get from WDC or others. |What I would like to see is a *cheap* Apple IIgs. If they can sell a Mac |Classic with 2 megs for well under $1,000, why can't they sell a 1 meg |Apple iigs, monochrome (like the Classic) with floppy disk drive (like the |Classic) for under $500? |*** Randy Hyde What I think he's trying to say is a GS which would be faster than the Mac Classics and SEs... and I for one agree that Apple could do it and that they should. Even if it was a 4Mhz GS THAT woulf be nice... whitewolf@gnh-starport!info-apple
