It is difficult to keep the various proposed units seperate, but there are    
*three* machines coming up, aren't there:                                     
     1. IIz  3-slot IIx
     2. IIcx  Tower unit, top-of-the-line with $Mbucks price,
        and fancy hardware
     3. ????  Laptop
If I'm not mistaken, you are talking IIz price slot and IIcx features.
