I just saw an ad in the paper this morning. "Your school can get FREE Apple Computers!" Blah..Blah..Blah.. Now for the bad part - They have a picture of a Apple MACINTOSH PLUS! What the **** is going on with Apple?! Have they decided to drop the II line for good?!

Maybe they merely need to dump a surplus of Mac+es and decided this was the best way (for Apple) to do it. Cheer up, maybe they know they can SELL Apple IIGSes as fast as they can make them, and that's why they're not giving any away..

No, they're giving away GSs and IIc+s also, as well as software, most of which is for the II. If I remember, a GS can be had for $250,000 worth of receipts, a Mac+ for $185,000, and a IIc+ for $150,000, so I don't think that they expect to be giving out a whole lot at those prices. --- Henry Throop Internet: throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu
