   ...and now it's time for some gossip.  I pass this on NOT based on how definite 
this information is, but on how interesting it may be.
 
   I have heard (from a friend who has a friend who works at Apple) that the Apple IIx
will be released this summer.  I have not yet found out exactly what the system will be
(It WILL use the Western Design Center 65816 chip.), in terms of memory, clock rate,
operating system, compatibility, etc.  My guess is that it is the operating system that
is holding them up.  The way Apple is heading, they may make it into another "mouse and
icons" type system.

   Has anybody else out there in netland heard anything?  I have a friend with an
Apple IIe system who is waiting to move up to a IIx, and is dying for lack of
information.  Please, HELP SAVE HIM! :-)
