>From today's Wall Street Journal:  "The Macintosh, which  will  retail
for  $2,495,  is a scaled-down version of Apple's Lisa computer.  Both
are a part of what Apple calls its 32-bit line of computers.  The Lisa
models  will  be  able  to  use  all  the  Macintosh software, but the
Macintosh won't be  able  to  use  all  of  the  Lisa  software.   The
Macintosh   will   have   double   the  memory  of  the  IBM  Personal
Computer--which means it will be able  to  handle  more  than  130,000
pieces  of  information  at  one time."  ...  "We priced it at a point
where we can make a normal profit on  it."   ...   "Mr.   Sculley  has
taken  pains  to  see that the Macintosh is ready on the day of formal
introduction."  ...  "At the annual meeting the company will introduce
the  'Apple  University  Consortium,'  representatives of the colleges
that altogether have ordered $50 million of Macintoshes."  --david--
