Mention is made of several flavors of the "Paris" open Mac complete with prices. basic Paris 68020 13" b&w 8 slots $3995 Paris w/s 68020 8.5x11 8 slots $5500 Paris Color 68020 17" col 8 slots $6500 They also note the Aladdin at $2,800 ($3500 with hd) which comes with 68020, two 800k drives, two expansion slots, and a Apple //GS keyboard. They claim that Mac+ owners can go to the Aladdin for $1,000. -------- This is similar to many other rumors. I have a hard time believing the $1k upgrade to Aladdin (if they do it I will turn over my tax refund to them, wife permitting!) What is different here is that Electronics tends to be slightly more reputable than the normal trade press. Perhaps there is a degree of truth here. So does anyone know if (and when) those of us with Macs will be able to move to 68020 power? Steve Crandall
