Well, it's pretty soon to tell, but the new apple sounds pretty interesting.

My thougts are that it's good news for Apple Lovers and Apple, and marks the
end of the 'One Size Fits All' MacReligion reign at Apple.  It should give
the Apple II market a shot in the arm and may have some interesting inter-
actions with the Laser Apple IIC clones.  On the other hand, it's not clear
that it will have much effect on the Amiga/ST/Mac/PC world, kind of like
Henry Ford announcing the availability of the Model T in colors other than
black...
