I am a Mac II owner --
As someone who bought the Mac II because "A/UX was coming", I
DISCOURAGE you from betting on future OS's from Apple. After all, no
gambling system is intended to pay off a majority to the players.....
And look what great luck people have had "betting" on OS-2!!!!
I got my Mac II thinking I'd get A/UX when it was released.
Little did I know that initially, Apple would charge $3000 for a hard
disk "loaded with A/UX", and then lower the price to $800, sans
documentation, just for floppy disks. These prices are outrageous,
even by PC/386 UNIX standards.
Apple is rumbling about charging for future versions of the operating
system. Don't buy an 030 and get screwed by Apple like I did!!!!!!
