I read both the InfoWorld and MacWorld articles: I think this is how the new
models are supposed to appear:

1)  Mac IIcx, released ~ April, basically a Mac IIx with only three slots.
    This seems to be a lot more solid than a rumor.

2)  Mac ??, InfoWorld's rumored super-duper Mac IIx, with DMA, a
    faster-than-16Mhz-68030, a faster NuBus, etc.  This is a rumor, but
    InfoWorld gave a pretty specific accounting of what was going to be in
    it. 

3)  Mac Laptop.  According to Mac the Knife in MacWeek, there's been a
    struggle between a 68000 version which is just about ready to go, and a
    lighter 68030 version that is still under development.  Sculley's claim
    that a laptop will be out by this summer seems to indicate that the
    68000 model is going to be the winner here.

On another subject entirely, it's a pity that Apple decided not to call the
Mac SE/30 the Mac SEx.

                           "Remember, these terrorists are professionals.
                            Highly trained and well equipped.  With their own
                            set of silly religious beliefs."
