This is not my recollection.  I think the Apple //e was available in 
stores on the day it was announced.  Managing the cut over from the //+ to 
the //e was fairly difficult, and the Apple // people were recognized for 
doing this so well.  The increased sales of the //+ may have been because 
dealers were discounting them, to try to sell their remaining ones.
