This subject has been covered many times before, but I'll say it again anyway: if you drop the Apple II compatibility, it won't be an Apple II! Personally, I think MacWeek is just trying to drum up trouble. False rumors can be very damaging. Let's see Apple come out and say the II is alive and well, and let's see Apple get on MacWeek's case for such a dangerous case of rumor-mongering. Finally, someone tell me I'm only having nightmares. :-) Scott Alfter------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: cs122aw@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu _/_ Apple II: the power to be your best! alfter@mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu/ v \ saa33413@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu ( ( A keyboard--how quaint!
