We just received the enhanced version of Mathematica for the Mac II today. It's not cheap---an extra US$300 for the 68881 support---but this is not PowerMath (which retails in the order of US$100). Earlier reports on Mathematica for the Mac noted that Dr Wolfram's book published by Addison-Wesley wasn't included. Either there was a reason at the time or they read the gripes in the meantime, but we received a hard-cover version of the book in the box. There is an educational institution discount in the order of 15%. ------------------- Simon Tortike, Department of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineering, The University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, CANADA T6G 2G6.

In addition to giving a very good demonstration of the product to a wowed audience (and that's a tough feat at a BMUG meeting!) one of them also mentioned that WRI (Wolfram Research, inc.) has concluded that the policy of not including the AW Text with the package was not a good idea and all future packages (both versions) will include it. +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ + + Any thing I say may be taken as + + Leonard Rosenthol + fact, then again you might decide+ + President, LazerWare, inc. + that it really isn't, so you + + + never know, do you?? + + leonardr@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu + + + GEnie: MACgician + MacNET: MACgician + + Delphi: MACgician + + + + + +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

(Just a guess, since the >30 doesn't have color graphics.) >-Biswa > (biswa@janus.berkeley.edu ...!ucbvax!janus!biswa) I believe that the MacII version will run on the SE30. I believe that the SE30 is equipped with Color QuickDraw. I have been told that it does, however, I have not tried it. Jack Gidding University of Illinois
