I just read the following in the December 3, 1990 issue of computer resellers news: Randomly: Not surprisingly, Apple has dropped the IIc, IIc mouse, IIc+, and IIc modem from a Nov. 15 developer's guide describing what machines hardware manufacturers and software developers should target. I read this as hope for the IIGS and maybe IIe.

What do you think? I don't think this is hope at all.. I think that Apple is dropping off the // line one by one... I think if anything should be dropped, it'd be the //e... The //c is the "portable" Apple II, and obviously could be made much more portable, and a true laptop... A laptop //e (a few people quibble about calling it a //e versus a //c... I just think of a generic 8 bit Apple // a //e nowadays, and use //c when I really MEAN //c) would be really cool and a laptop GS would be amazing. It'd be so cool to be able to take notes in class with AppleWorks GS or something like that.. (So you can get the text AND the graphics in drawings, etc). I hate taking notes on paper, maybe that's why I take so few of them! I just don't really see how that can be seen as hope... -- /Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu MAIL ME FOR INFO ABOUT CHEAP CDs\ |WRITE TO ORIGIN ABOUT ULTIMA VI //e and IIGS!

Sorry, I don't see the occurance of a simple typograhical error as good news,
just because the forgot to put the //e and IIgs in doesn't mean much. Aside
from which, why would they drop the //c and not the //e or vice versa?
