System Disk v5.0 will/is certainly VERY fast. I was not at Applefest, but from what I've read, it must be. Apple announced the Video Overlay Card (well, a month sooner), and it too is good. That was point one. Point two: As someone pointed out, Apple tells alot about the future of the Mac. What about the //?? Hardly anything... Point three: Alot of magazines for OTHER computers have been writing about the demise of the Apple //. I can think of an article an Amiga friend read to me that rather violently attacked the IIgs specifically and how the //s are dying/dead/buried. Point four: We, the Apple // users ourselves, doubt that Apple will do anything in the way of announcments for the //, and so have concocted that the // is dying... Look folks, IT'S POSSIBLE!! Perhaps Apple wishes to move on to bigger and better markets where the $$$ lies. I've said it once, and I'll say it again... we need to support ourselves! Write our own software, come up with our own mods to whatever, and possibly, homemade hardware... That's all possible... At least then, if (IF) Apple does drop the //, we'll be prepared... Please, no flames, constructive critisizims are ok, and any comments will be answered... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER: Everything I post here is so amazingly bizarre that it simply _HAS_ to be my opinion.
