dave@enmasse.UUCP (Dave Brownell) (12/11/85)

The 12/9/85 issue of INFOWORLD has details on a new Macintosh
supposed to be introduced a few days before the MacWorld exposition
in mid-January.  No prices were included; the article also mentioned
a 68020 based color Mac to be introduced in March.  Developers (e.g.,
GCC) are quoted as saying they have them and will announce products for
the Mac+ in the Exposition.

Summary of Mac Plus (from memory):
    *	Up to 50% faster
    *	1 Mbyte Memory, expandible to 4 Mb
    *	SCSI bus
    *	800 Kb double-sided disk drive
    *	128 Kb ROMS, with HFS
    *	Same case (and display)
    *	New keyboard, with numeric keypad standard.

I want to know when I can get one!!  What a Smalltalk/Lisp/Prolog
machine ...
