Message-ID: <2201@uw-beaver> Date: Tue, 13-Nov-84 23:06:11 EST Article-I.D.: uw-beave.2201 Posted: Tue Nov 13 23:06:11 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 15-Nov-84 03:27:12 EST Sender: yenbut@uw-beave Organization: U of Washington Computer Science Lines: 20 From: Mark Richer There was a short article on Apple in the Sunday SF Examiner which said Apple was planning on moving the Lisa into the MacIntosh line (I don't remember the exact wording). The article said they were planning on making a Lisa with a detachable keyboard and separate monitor. Internally it would still be Lisa, but I guess they may phase out the name and make it more compatible with the Mac. The article wasn't too clear probably because they only heard rumors themselves. The article also said that Apple would announce in January its laser printer, and the long-awaited Apple-Net. In addition they may sell a card for IBM-PCs which would allow them to connect to the APple Net (which is 'box' that includesa hard disk) also. And finally there was mention of a 'turbo-mac' which might have a video and hard disk connector. What I really wonder is if Commodore will announce the 'mac-style' color computer Amiga developed and is rumored to be priced at under $1000 when its released. Mark ---- -------
