Sure... here is the latest unsubstantiated scoop of some BBS's I've
been on around the country.

	1) System software 6.0 is two-three months from final beta.
	[How that translates into release, I don't know, 4-5?]

	2) A New GS is deffinetly planned.  it will have an internal
	Hard drive (40 Meg) and a Smart Drive (1.44).

	3) System 6.0 will include Mac and IBM FSTs.

	4) The new GS will be faster (8Mhz)
	[ If the machine is designed for 8mhz it will probably end
	  up running faster than a ROM 01 with a 10Mhz Zip in it ]

	5) There will be an upgrade option for current ROM 03 owners.
	[ No mention of ROM 01 owners :-( ]

Well, call me "fool" but I'm optomistic about the Apple // in '91-92.

Note:  THESE ARE RUMORS!  I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF ON ANY OF THESE, AND
I MAKE NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE ACCURACY OF ANY OF THE
ABOVE STAMEMENTS.  MANY COME FROM UNRELIABLE SOURCES.  TAKE THEM WITH A
GRAIN A SALT.  NAY, TAKE THEM WITH A pound OF SALT!
