I learned today from the local Computer Store that the Mac XL is officially being discontinued on June 1. Apple had originally planned to time this for September 1, but sales of the Mac XL have been a bit faster than anticipated, and the stock has been about sold off. The new ROM and MacWorks release are still supposed to arrive in a week or two. I also learned that a 20 Mb disk for the Mac will be announced with the new ROMs, around September 1. I would label both of these has "highly reliable rumor." -- ----------------------- Stew Rubenstein UUCP: ihnp4!harvard!stew Harvard Chemistry ARPA: stew@harvard

I read in the NY Times that Apple announced yesterday (April 29)
That it discontinued the Mac XL. A 512K mac with a 20Mb
internal drive will be introduced in September.
