Yessir, they did just kill it off. The Computer Store here is telling people
"Don't bother with a II; its slower and more expensive (relativly) than the
others." They are also phoning up anyone who has a II order not yet completed
and asking if this is what they REALLY want to do (ie wanna get a IIcx instead?).

Lets see: we have:

1) Mac Plus
2) Mac SE
3) Mac SE/30
4) Mac IIx
5) Mac IIcx

What is next? I have been reading about the soonish to be line of Macs with
faster processors, 32 bit quick draw etc. When will they come out, and what will
they do to everything? Every time I think about getting a computer (Mac) I then
tell myself,"Well, I want colors (artist type here) so I will wait for 32 bit"
or whatever... It is difficult to take a stand when technology is flying on by,
never taking a stable position. Look at the II - how long has it been it out and
it obsolete. Same with original Amiga (1000) and numberous other systems.

Sincerely,
Jon Slenk / js9b CMU.
