     Something that just struck me, sorry if MHO is a bit morbid:
     If Apple discontinued the IIe and IIc, the IIgs would be their only
II.  The GS could lose all it's compatability and gain performance (fast
slots, etc..)  I don't think Apple wants to give up the IIes and IIcs
just yet, but the "demise" of the II line may be the pre-gs II line, while
the GS could expand without the problem of staying compatible.
     Just a thought.  If anyone thinks I'm a harbinger of doom, I don't
want to be.  I don't think Apple should drop any part of the current II
line, but the above seems to make sense, especially with the compatibility
tweaks with the gs and the performance questions.
     Ick, I hate rumors.
							Ken.
