(Sorry about not cutting it down but our termcap for H19s is hopeless.)

Notes (taken by someone else at the apple convention in SF in January)

The new machine is (rumored) to have:  65c816 @ 8Meg and //e compatiblity.

Upgrades from //e to the new machine should be for the difference in cost
between the machines.  

I want one. (or two)

They say there is strangeness too dangerous,
In our theaters and bookstore shelves.
Those who know what's best for us,
Must rise and save us from ourselves.
