I am surprised that the net hasn't had much discussion about Apple's
forthcoming Mac Laptop. Well then, I'd like to get the discussion going.
I have submitted two messages. This one: 'Apple Laptop - REALITY' and
the next: 'Apple Laptop - FANTASY'. The reason I chose these two
directions is that there WILL be a Laptop released in the summer, it will
be ~17 pounds and ~$6,500...that is the REALITY. If you wish to talk
about this subject, please reply to this note.
HOWEVER, for those of you with active imaginations and a lust for the next
genaration hardware PLEASE RESPOND TO THE 'FANTASY' MESSAGE!!!
Here is how I predict reality:
Apple Laptop:
68030 16MHz CPU
68882 math co-processor
2 Meg RAM standard
1.44 Meg FDHD floppy
40 Meg Hard Disk
640x480 'Paper white' LCD display
All SE ports: Serial, Ext. Floppy, SCSI, ADB, etc.
1 Direct/30 slot
Basically, it will be an SE/30 (oops, SEx) in a 17 pound laptop format
for a slightly higher price. Think this is beyond reality?? If you
do than stay away from the 'FANTASY' message...
Ciao!

Picture, if you will, that you are in the middle of a lush, green forest.
The sound of water is all around you. The sun breaks through the dense
treetops to provide a peaceful, muted illumination. Then your boss
steps into your office and plunks 5 lbs. of new work on your desk.
....AAARRRGHH, what's so great about reality!!
