I think I read recently somewhere, the business pages of New York Times perhaps, that the president, CEO or somebody at Apple, Inc., surprise, surprise, mentioned the possibility of a MacPlus upgrade. The motivation for this wholly unlikely, improbable, impossible state- ment should have been that corporate customers tend to have lots of MacPluses, and those are now pretty far behind the leading edge. This statement is supposed to be very recent, less than a few months. Is it true, or is it just a dream? Hans Aberg, Mathematics aberg@math.rutgers.edu

I saw something to this effect in a MacWeek a few weeks ago. I, too, don't know who said it. But it said that they were thinking about providing an upgrade path for Mac Plusses because there are tons of them in the business world and these businesses want to be able to upgrade them. Apple, I suppose, is afraid that these customers might not decide to buy new 68030 based machines and go to IBM instead. It seems that Apple still has an inferiority complex. Although, if it gets the job done... These are only my opinions. -Ace
