The "Golden Gate" rumor is not exactly new.  A product such as you
describe would be good business sense if Apple actually (as they seem to)
intends to steer the Apple II clientele into the Macintosh product line.

I think a more probable guess about the second point quoted would be that
no new low-end Macs would be introduced in competition with the new II/Mac
hybrid, in order not to weaken the crossover.
