Anyone out there who can confirm, deny, or perhaps just speculate on
a rumor I've come across?
I am interested in purchasing a new personal computer in the near future,
and although I dearly love the Macs, good COLOR graphics are of
some importance to me, and my wallet does not allow me to buy a Mac II.
There's the Apple IIGS, but I feel it doesn't fully take advantage of
the newer technology (particularly speed) that is available nowadays.
'Tis a dilemna indeed, for I would sooner eat a bowl of IC chips than
buy a user-hostile IBM, no matter how many thousands of colors it has.
What am I to do? But then one day. . .
I read an article in a computer magazine (almost a computer tabloid,
perhaps) which stated that a color SE could be pending from Apple
Computer Inc. No estimated time was given.
Could this be true? It would be an answer to my prayers if it is.
Anyone else out there facing a similar brain-grinding decision?
