RUMOR?

Apple gave a forced vacation to employees at their Mac plant. The idea
is to slow down production to avoid dropping the price. If this is true,
what ever happened to the idea of a computer for the rest of us?

I also heard that apple will introduce a Mac with 128K of ROM and 
double sided 800K floppies. The new ROM is suppose to have all? of the
finder in it.

FACT!

I just got a 512K Mac bundle, currently selling at ~$2800,
for $2190. Apple does give hefty discounts for full time students
at state universities. My wife will gladly use it to type her thesis.
I still have to wait 4-6 weeks for delivery, BUT it is worth it!
(I think they should sell the package for ~$2300 anyway!)

PROBLEM

A question for the you hardware hackers!  If apple goes to 128K rom
will I be able to upgrade my NEW fat mac?
