Kind of vague, but interesting. Just out of curiosity, which line are you talking about? Right now there are only two: the compact models (SE, Plus, and SE/30) and the expandable models (II, IIcx, IIx). I really must express my doubts. First, there is no way that the expandable line could be discontinued without bankrupting the company. Secondly, Apple (and John Sculley) still was a machine for the masses, i.e. one that won't bankrupt the buyer. The compact line is the only possibility here, unless the price of the IIcx is cut in half... -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
