Most of the new features mentioned in the original article are not
expected to be announced officially until the stockholders meeting in
January, and I would guess that they won't be available to end-users
until at least the summer.  So, if you want to get something for this
Christmas, you probably aren't going to get much more than what everyone
already has.  The only new things are the products in last week's
announcement: the Hard Disk 20 (which includes the new hierarchical file
system), ImageWriter II, the new modem, and Switcher.

By the way, I'm not sure, but you still may have about a week or two
left before the Apple $250 rebate offer closes.  Actually, it may be too
late.  I think you had to purchase the Mac by Sept 30, but you then have
until Oct 15 to send in the form.
