A lot of the "leaks" to the press are made to pull the wind out of other companies sales :-) Before the C64, Adam, or the PCjr came out we were told that they had finished developing a system that would knock the pants of the Apple II at a fraction of the price... Well, the only way to really knock a price down is by reducing production costs. Thus while the low end micros were quite good for the money, they weren't exactly powereful. Also, any machine in the "rumors" stage now is at LEAST 3 months from your dealers shelf, and won't be a stable product with a good software base for another 12... Mark (waiting for Jan 24.)
