This is from the 11 November 1985 "Computerworld": "Apple Computer, Inc.'s engineers are said to be busily readying products for the traditional un- veiling at the firm's January shareholder's meet- ing. Sources point to a Turbo Mac, which is reputed to be the Macintosh XL that Lisa never was, along with a Mac with 1M byte of memory, a larger (14-in.) screen and even higher resolution. But the intriguing item in the works is Apple's "true" portable (not an Apple IIc), which may not be ready in January but is certainly getting a big internal push."

From the December 9, 1985 "COMPUTERWORLD" newsweekly: "TOP OF THE NEWS" Apple Computer President John Sculley reportedly said last week that future Apple products will use the AT&T Unix operating system. Sculley made the comment when he was questioned by reporters outside a Silicon Valley forum, but the company refused to confirm the report. "It may or may not be true. I have no way of knowing," Apple spokeswoman Linda Merrill said. Anticipation is building for Apple's traditional product unveiling at its Jan. 24 stockholders meeting.

I have heard from a friend that he is ready to sell his mac as he will be getting a new different mac within a few months. According to him it will feature: 1. A 42M internal hard disk. 2. A larger resolution screen. 3. 68020 processor. Does anybody know if this machine corresponds to that of the rumors about the Open Mac. Any more details? I have been putting of my decision to purchase a Mac for quite sometime due to the uncertainity involved with all these changes and new machines. He also said that it would be possible for developers to get the Color Mac (Jonathan?) in a few months.
