I was looking at a glossy promo for the new Macs. Under the LC, it said that it did not have FCC approval, and that they couldn't sell it until it got it. They also said the LC wouldn't be available until February -- David Palmer palmer@gap.cco.caltech.edu ...rutgers!cit-vax!gap.cco.caltech.edu!palmer I have the power to cloud men's minds -- or at least my own.

According to the sources I have, the delay is related to re-engineering the LC motherboard for 8-bit color, and getting the FCC approval for the new motherboard design. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jim Gaynor - The Ohio State Univ. - IRCC - Facilities Mgmt. - OCES <whew!> | | Email [gaynor@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu], [gaynor@agvax2.ag.ohio-state.edu] | |_ "Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl; because it hurts like hell..." _|
