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. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar
