I believe that Apple will wait until the demand for the Mac II will die down,
then quit making them, drop the price of the IIx down in the II's slot,
introduce the "Tower" at some where close to where the IIx was.

It's going to take a little while until the market discovers that the IIcx
exists and that it is cheaper. Until that happens, Apple is wise to continue
on with business as usual with the II.

Since nobody has mentioned prices yet:

1 Meg Mac IIx    $4,669 (retail)
1 Meg/40 Meg IIx $5,369
4 Meg/80 Meg IIx $7,069
 " wit Aux   IIx $7,552

Available today (only the rep says it may be a couple of months before volume)

Consortium prices are tipically 60-65% of retail.
