What you have missed is that Apple figures it got the educational market
(K to 12) cornered and that it does not really have to compete with the
ST and Amiga and can charge a premium because all the owners of those old
Apple-IIs are going to be mightily happy about the performance improvements.
And they are probably right !!  Buy Apple stock, I say.

Will someone, please, quickly create a group for the GS, pleaassssse,
before it invades this group any further .....  I want to know nothing about
it as I consider it a step backwards for someone with a Mac (for sound I have
a stereo, for color the real world ...(-:)

GS, Gausse-Scully, Gully-Scully, Glorified Stereo, G?dd?m Sxxx ....
