Apple has apparently sold Drexel University 3000 MacIntosh machines,
1650 of which will be sold to students next winter for about $1000 each.
Apple acknowledges the agreement with Drexel but will only say that it
concerns "an unannounced product".  First hand experiences related by
a Drexel vice president suggest the following (using his words):

  mouse
  video screen, disk drive, keyboard in one unit
  23-24 lbs, can be transported in a soft case
  16-bit microprocessor with 64K min memory
  (they call it the Apple DU--for Drexel University)
  they picked it because it was "easy to use"

A)  Do any Macintosh mailing lists, or newsgroups exist? If you
    are aware of any such Macintosh discussions, or public domain
    programs, please mail me.
B)  I received MACTEP 1.3 and MACCOPY from The Source.  If anyone would
    like a copy, I will send it to you, as soon as I type it in.

C)  I would like to correspond with anyone who has purchased
    a Macintosh.  Please drop me a note.

Thank you in advance...
