>Should I buy a IIc+?  Wait for the Laptop Mac?  both?

1. The Laser 128EX/2 appears to have superior features to the //c+
  (you don't suppose Apple will get smart and offer future editions of
   the //c+ with the 1.4 Mbyte SuperDrive which also reads and writes the
   1.44 Mbyte MS-DOS format?  Naaahh, a smart move like that would break
   Apple's streak  -- remember this is the company that packed a processor
   with a 16 Mbyte address space into a closed machine with a maximum
   memory of 512K).

2. Given Apple's top managment's attitude toward it's II customer base,
   I'd think you'd give Amiga more than a passing thought.

3. IBM's PS/2 386-laptop (portable model 70 - a luggable perhaps, but
   the lapMac will NOT be a lightweight) will arrive sooner and if
   rumors prove out will be by far the more capable machine (even more
   so in power per dollar terms if compared on a "street price" basis).
