Mac watchers should look at the 1/8/87 issue of Electronics magazine - p.98.
Mention is made of several flavors of the "Paris" open Mac complete with
prices.
	basic Paris	68020	13" b&w	8 slots		$3995
	Paris w/s	68020	8.5x11  8 slots		$5500
	Paris Color	68020	17" col 8 slots		$6500
They also note the Aladdin at $2,800 ($3500 with hd) which comes with 68020,
two 800k drives, two expansion slots, and a Apple //GS keyboard. They claim
that Mac+ owners can go to the Aladdin for $1,000.

--------
This is similar to many other rumors. I have a hard time believing the $1k
upgrade to Aladdin (if they do it I will turn over my tax refund to them, wife
permitting!) What is different here is that Electronics tends to be slightly
more reputable than the normal trade press. Perhaps there is a degree of
truth here.

So does anyone know if (and when) those of us with Macs will be able to move
to 68020 power?
