Steve Jobs is a wondrous man: he had only to announce the Mac XL, and instantly the Lisa 2/10s all over the country were transformed into Macintoshes. Apple did not change *anything* about the Lisa when it was announced as the XL. However, there is supposed to be a fix for the video board to alter the screen to be closer in size to the Mac. As far as I know, the XL was out of stock before it became available, so it is a modification you must get later, not something that would have been shipped if you'd bought a newer machine. -- Rick Keir -- MicroComputer Information Center, Rm 3130 MACC 1210 West Dayton St/U Wisconsin Madison/Mad WI 53706 {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!sumacc (OR) uwvax!uwmacc!rick
