I read in some business magazine that Apple had said that it would drop the SE/30 soon, as the new mac II si effectively replaces it. What do you lot out there think of this? Is it true? Should it be true? My personal feelings are that the SE/30 is a great machine: small yet powerful. I don't want a big imposing box on my desk. And I want to be able to take my Mac with me if I have to move. Maybe Apple should just redesign the case in line with the Mac Classic, rename it the Mac Classic 030 or Classic X, put a microphone on it, and 32 bit clean roms, but surely not discard it alltogether. What about us users, who bought one just recently (it was released only about a year and a half ago, wasn't it?). I wouldn't want to own a discontinued machine. Let us have the clean roms as an upgrade, and use MacRecorder. Jonathan Broadbent Centre for Cognitive Science, Edinburgh,Scotland

I DON'T want a seperate monitor (& a Mac should look like a Mac not like a PC). Do you understand, Apple?

It also says that because of the high demand for the SE/30, Apple has postponed a planned price cut on it. Doesn't sound to me like they're going to axe the SE/30 anytime soon. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Have a day. :^| Murat N.

Expect a new, more powerful version of the SE/30 soon. Just speculating, but chances are my SE/30 will become a future "Classic" :) **My employers don't understand me, so I guess I'm on my own when I speak out** Norton Chia | I *think* my address is Micro Support | carsup@extro.ucc.su.OZ.AU *******************************************************************************
