Slenk) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac Subject: Re: IIcx intro (Mac II dead?) Message-ID: Date: 10 Mar 89 08:34:47 GMT References: Organization: Class of '92, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 23 In-Reply-To: Yessir, they did just kill it off. The Computer Store here is telling people "Don't bother with a II; its slower and more expensive (relativly) than the others." They are also phoning up anyone who has a II order not yet completed and asking if this is what they REALLY want to do (ie wanna get a IIcx instead?). Lets see: we have: 1) Mac Plus 2) Mac SE 3) Mac SE/30 4) Mac IIx 5) Mac IIcx What is next? I have been reading about the soonish to be line of Macs with faster processors, 32 bit quick draw etc. When will they come out, and what will they do to everything? Every time I think about getting a computer (Mac) I then tell myself,"Well, I want colors (artist type here) so I will wait for 32 bit" or whatever... It is difficult to take a stand when technology is flying on by, never taking a stable position. Look at the II - how long has it been it out and it obsolete. Same with original Amiga (1000) and numberous other systems. Sincerely, Jon Slenk / js9b CMU.
