[net.micro.mac] Let's hear somemore Mac Rumours!

In a telephone interview with the Globe and Mail (Canada's National
newspaper, as they like to call themselves) Michael Spindler,
president of Apple International is quoted as saying that "later
this month 12 versions of the new MacIntosh Plus will be delivered
to retailers around the world." Does anyone know what this means?
He goes on to say that "in the next 18 months, consumers will also
see a wide escalation of the MacIntosh product line, due in part to
our increased research and development program." Does this mean we
will see, among other things, a Mac with a larger screen and a
68020 processor? If so, when? Let's start those rumours flying.
I'm saving up my money to buy one of these beasts.

This refers to versions of the Macintosh Plus localized for various non-US
markets (eg., Canada, France, Germany, ...).
