I have been to a couple of Apple dealers now to 
find out when the MAC II will actually be available.
Both have said "who knows" and are skeptical, 
mumbling something about "supposedly July but
I heard something about December".  The second
time I heard this I said, " I just read on usenet
that somebody had spoken to Jean-louis de boogabooga
and he said the MAC IIs were shipping as of last
week".  Then the saleswoman said, "well actually
we won't be authorized to sell MAC IIs anyway."
This makes me suspect the first dealer I visited
won't be selling them either.  So, I thought, how
do I find out what dealers will be selling the MAC II?

I called the apple toll-free numbers and asked what
dealers in the Boston area would be selling the 
MAC II.  The woman on the phone proceeded to give
me the address of the second dealer.  I said,
"yeah yeah, NEBA in Plaistow, New Hampshire.
they aren't authorized to sell the MAC II".
She then gave me a toll number in CA that I could
call.  Apple Customer Services.  Maybe they can help.

Does anybody know when the MAC II will really be
available and how one is supposed to find out where
without making a long-distance call?
