   I'm the somebody on Usenet who said they had spoken to Jean Louis Gassee
and here is the stuff I know: 
   The Stanford bookstore has already received some small number of production
Mac IIs with no hard disk and monochrome monitor (no color) and the smaller
keyboard. Evidently some developers have also received them. There was an
short piece in the San Jose Mercury News indicating that Apple was shipping
Mac IIs. There is a local ad by an Apple dealer that they will be having a
demo of a Mac II some day within the next few weeks. From all the above I
conclude that there are some MacIIs available but are probably accounted for
and that it isn't clear when the full blown color systems w/hard disks will
be available.
   One general comment...I would believe just about anything I read on these
bboards before I would believe a dealer. I can't believe the number of postings
where people say "I read here that ... but when I talked with the dealer he/she
said ...   I've always been much more impressed with the collective knowledge
of the net than that of the dealers!
