I friend of mine, who works at one of a major oil corporation's research labs,
(I'm not naming names here), told me today that he approved a requisition for
a Mac IIxi.  He's not exactly a computer type, so he didn't pay attention to
things like amount of RAM or the size of the hard drive (but there was a drive,
I'm guessing with an Apple nameplate).  The price on the thing was $12,000.
That probably includes the company's standard 24% discount (off of list).

How do I know that the 'x' wasn't a typo?  A note scribbled on the bottom
of the requisition said "this machine won't be announced for another month
yet, so call back then to verify the price".

Can anybody tell me what this machine might be (besides the obvious (vague)
guess that it's a faster IIci)?
