...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! :-)
To those of you who read my first posting of this, I apologize. The
terminal I wrote that posting on (and am writing this one on), is an AT&T 5620
Display, which has the interesting feature of having an approximately 88
character line. I did not know this when I made the posting, thus the end of
most of the lines were either chopped off or wrapped around. Thanks, AT&T.
