Well folks, I always hate to be a party pooper, lest it spoil someones day,
but
after a gaze into my crystal ball, I guess I have some bad news to deliver..
 
There will NOT be a GS+, or any new GS for that matter introduced at Applefest
this year.. In fact, as I see it, the entire GS+ story was a fable as the unit
does not seem to exist at this time.. I do NOT expect to see any new CPU at
Applefest other than a spiced up //c that remains 8 bit, but that is more of
an
upgrade than a new CPU. A little faster, and a smaller disk drive, that's
about
it.. I guess that when Sculley said no new CPU'S this year, he meant the
entire
year, not the fiscal year as many had hoped..
 
One bit on the brighter side, keep an eye out for HYPER-STUDIO. It will be the
GS version of Hyper-card, and while it will not work with Mac stacks, it will
allow sound storage in the stacks.. While it will be demoed at 'fest, I do not
expect to see finished product available until later this year.. It must be
quite good though, as it has Roger Wagner walking around looking like a proud
new father..
