To: info-mac Subject: Mac SE & March 2nd Announcements Cc: ----- Begin Forwarded Message ----- This file is a two-page MacWrite document describing Apple's upcoming March 2 announcements of the Mac II and Mac SE. It goes into some detail about the Mac SE. You should read "Mac II First Look" before reading this one. Ric Ford, "MacInTouch" newsletter [ Mac II First Look is archived as [SUMEX-AIM.Stanford.EDU]<INFO-MAC>REPORT-MAC2-FIRSTLOOK.HQX so naturally I had to name this one [SUMEX-AIM.Stanford.EDU]<INFO-MAC>REPORT-MAC2-SECONDLOOK.HQX DoD ] ----- End Forwarded Message ----- I was asked by the folks on Delphi to pass the word that a revised and combined version of these documents is on its way, and to please distributed it instead of this version. The original release of these papers has created a major controversy on both CompuServe and Delphi. A number of vendors, through Bob Perez at Apple, complained that they were incorrectly judged against Beta hardware with old software, and generally raised a ruckus. The Compuserve people decided to pull the documents from their data libraries, but neglected to tell Ric and Macintouch of this, creating a major flame war on censorship. This controversy then spilled over to Delphi as well, and lots of screaming and yelling has been done. The end result is that the reports were re-written to be a little more cohesive, and this updated version has been accepted by both Neil Shapiro of Compuserve and Delphi. The updated version should be given to info-mac and usenet in the next few days. Until then, please consider these documents to be obsolete and don't do any long term planning on them. Thanks to Ric le Page, Bob Perez, Neil Shapiro, Peabo, and all the others involved for keeping their heads while the idiots yelled for them and for working out a reasonable solution to all of this. chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM [I don't read flames] There is no statute of limitations on stupidity

I don't know if there is an additional revision, but shortly after I posted the original document to mod.mac.binaries, I was asked by Jeff Shulman to pull it off the net, as a revised document was going to be sent in a couple of days. I did send out a cancel message for <2260@felix.UUCP> and shortly thereafter received and posted <2294@felix.UUCP>. Hopefully this document reflects the updated document that Chuq speaks of. -- Roger L. Long FileNet Corp {hplabs,trwrb}!felix!bytebug
