I saw 'Computer Chronicles' on PBS this week and it was all about the new Apple 2's. There is a new Apple IIc and a new OS for the GS. **************************************************************** * Keith Hedger hedger@inmet.inmet.com * * Intermetrics inc. uunet!inmet!hedger * * 'flipper suffered for their music....now it's your turn' * ****************************************************************

Now wait here...I am constantly amazed at the people (including myself before I got smart) who will believe all this stuff about the Apple IIgs+. And I have seen MANY files which list lots of features as listed in the article above, including a memory increase, and the upgrade price is listed as "$299". 299 for all that? No way you could get even just the MEMORY for $299. The article above didn't mention a price but I'm surethe source ithe info was obtained from is bogus...I'll trust Sculley (hah) and wait 12-18 months... The new //c and GS/OS are old news...
