In case you don't read the fine print, the following footnote was included in the Macintosh II ad, p. 18-19 in WSJ of March 25 (c) 1988 Apple Computer, Inc. Apple, the Apple logo, Macintosh, Appletalk and LaserWriter are registered trademarks ... Macintosh II comes with a CPU (which isn't shown here) and a mouse (which is). For the sake of custom configuration, monitor and keyboard are purchased separately. As are your desk, chair, trash can, and pencil cup. And there's no little :-) on the page, either... -- (prefered mailbox:) werner%rascal@sally.utexas.edu ....!ut-sally!rascal.ics.utexas.edu!werner (if rascal is unreachable:) werner@astro@sally.utexas.edu werner@utastro.uucp

I remember Apple ads for the //c that said that the //c was portable, with a little asterisk. At the bottom of the page, it said something like * (Don't you just hate asterisks?) The //c weighs seven pounds. Adding the power supply, monitor, and several bricks will increase this weight. No smiley, either. I thought it was cute ---- Don't you hate line counters?
