Message-ID: <1991Jun6.111608.436@crash.cts.com> Date: 6 Jun 91 11:16:08 GMT Sender: root@crash.cts.com Organization: Crash TimeSharing, El Cajon, CA Lines: 28 There have been a couple rumors flying around lately regarding the II. For those who missed them, these are THE RUMORS: System 6 for the GS is coming out, and it's supposed to be as fast as System 5 was compared with System 4. Along with System 6, Apple will releasea new II CPU, probably a 2MB IIgs packaged in a different way, and possibly faster (most probably...) The Macintosh LC is dying Anyway, I work at an Apple dealer, and we got something we haven't recieved in a LONG TIME: promotional material for the II. It was talking about software, and multimedia and other stuff of interest to schools. It *did*, however talk about individual consumers, which is something that blew me away. I don't know how true the rumors above are, but I am inclined to think that *something* is happening.
