This file is a two-page MacWrite document describing Apple's upcoming March
2
announcements of the Mac II and Mac SE.  It goes into some detail about the
Mac
SE.  You should read "Mac II First Look" before reading this one.

Mac II First Look is archived as

so naturally I had to name this one

I was asked by the folks on Delphi to pass the word that a revised 
and combined version of these documents is on its way, and to please 
distributed it instead of this version.

The original release of these papers has created a major controversy on
both CompuServe and Delphi.  A number of vendors, through Bob Perez at
Apple, complained that they were incorrectly judged against Beta hardware
with old software, and generally raised a ruckus.  The Compuserve people
decided to pull the documents from their data libraries, but neglected to
tell Ric and Macintouch of this, creating a major flame war on censorship.

This controversy then spilled over to Delphi as well, and lots of screaming
and yelling has been done.

The end result is that the reports were re-written to be a little more
cohesive, and this updated version has been accepted by both Neil Shapiro
of Compuserve and Delphi.  The updated version should be given to info-mac
and usenet in the next few days.  Until then, please consider these
documents
to be obsolete and don't do any long term planning on them.

Thanks to Ric le Page, Bob Perez, Neil Shapiro, Peabo, and all the others
involved for keeping their heads while the idiots yelled for them and 
for working out a reasonable solution to all of this.
