It will never happen. Read it over, that is a lot of stuff for the price (especially considering the RAM chip prices these days.) I believe this is the one that included the 65832 chip? that isn't to be in final production until 1990 or so. (or at least 1989 very late).. Actually this was one of the better ones, I've seen worse tech stuff, as they usually all fail, one way or another, as supporting weird hardware that Apple would never do, or including 8M or so for less than $1500, (come on the chips cost at least that).. Also someone said lets get back to old Apple prices... In Winter of 1981, an Apple II+ with 48k and one 5.25" disk drive went for the cheap price of $2,800. Compare that with the price of the GS, and what you get with the ii+ at the time.. Do you really want to go back to that price?? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UUCP: uunet!umix!lakesys!dougm Compuserve: 70611,2215 INET: dougm@lakesys.UUCP APLE: DougMac ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He, I remember paying 2100 smackers in 1979 for my ][+, one floppy drive, 64K and *no* monitor. What a bargain. I think that my mother was going to shoot me for selecting this set-up instead of the TRaSh-80 Model III setup that would have gotten me a 64K system, two drives, monitor and printer for the same price. Turns out it was tre best two grand I ever spent. --Rick Ewing Apple Computer
