     Firstly, and most importantly, THIS WAS A RUMOR! Nothing more, nothing
less. I never said it was going to happen, and it just may not. I probably
shouldn't spread rumors anymore, since everyone seems to take them as the
gospel truth. Stop it! :-)

     Secondly, I also never said "internal 40-Meg hard drive". You've inferred
that, and it is impossible to glean such a bit of information from mere rumor.

     Finally, what's the deal with "...or the new 640x400 resolution IIgs+"?
Have you turned wishful rumor-thinking into fact? As far as it goes, there is
no such beast as a 604x400 mode IIGS. There may have been experimentation into
such a beast at one time (or so say _other_ Apple rumors) but the likelyhood of
seeing such a machine in the near-term is slim at best. 

     Remember, a rumor isn't fact. Look it up.
