...and now it's time for some gossip. I pass this on NOT based on how definite
this information is, but on how interesting it may be.
I have heard (from a friend who has a friend who works at Apple) that the Apple IIx
will be released this summer. I have not yet found out exactly what the system will be
(It WILL use the Western Design Center 65816 chip.), in terms of memory, clock rate,
operating system, compatibility, etc. My guess is that it is the operating system that
is holding them up. The way Apple is heading, they may make it into another "mouse and
icons" type system.
Has anybody else out there in netland heard anything? I have a friend with an
Apple IIe system who is waiting to move up to a IIx, and is dying for lack of
information. Please, HELP SAVE HIM! :-)

Upgrades from //e to the new machine should be for the difference in cost between the machines. I want one.

Either posting or mail > is fine! > David Arnold What the hell is this doing in net.micro.apple???? If your going to post a followup make sure it's got something to do with the newsgroup, pleeeease. There have been several "rush" messages in net.micro.apple. I'd personally mail all these people messages but there are quite a few that seem to be posting followups to the same message (and most of them probably don't read net.micro.apple) I really hate posting things like this but it had to be stopped. -taw "It's only a state of mind"
