It WAS reported in the January (maybe Feb, I don't have copies at the office) Vaporware column (quoting an InfoWorld article which I cited in a follow-up post last week). MacLeak must be wasting time listening to Chicken Little's "The Apple II is falling" hysteria. One glum note: Returnees from an Apple developers conference in Cupertino last week (maybe the week before -- time flies) report they got the distinct message "Forget the II, think MAC" (that is "develop FOR the Mac" not just "develop ON the Mac"). Now, I'd think that folks at Apple would wish to characterize that as a mis-impression (at least in private correspondence), but so far only silence (which I won't conclude is confirmation, but along with others, I DO wonder why Apple pays PR people salaries when they don't seem to be earning them :-( Quashing negative rumors is important too! /s Murph [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)
