Now I don't know anything about this, but could someone please clarify the
last letter regarding Apple's decision to withhold a certain (I presume) IIgs
speedup board from coming to market?  This last message was incredibly
disjointed and downright confusing.  It also seems a bit farfetched.  In my
opinion, Apple would have absolutely *nothing* to gain from keeping such off
the market (even they tried to make the IIgs faster in development), and
everything to lose by dumping Applied Engineering as a certified developer.
Why???  I mean, would you backstab the largest maker of peripheral boards for
your personal computer?  Would IBM suddenly dump AST for a similar tactic?
Please clarify this, because it until I hear better, I must log this as a
completely hysterical RUMOR.
