Message-ID: <430044@hpcea.CE.HP.COM> Date: 21 Sep 88 22:06:05 GMT References: <1988Sep19.133835.2096@mntgfx.mentor.com> Organization: HP Corporate Engineering - Palo Alto, CA Lines: 21 I suspect {guess not fact} that Apple is no longer manufacturing the MacPlus and what you are experiancing is the emptying of the pipeline. Not too long ago the Plus took a big dip in price and I think that there were system deals going with it. That is Apple's classic manuver to rid the shelves of unpurchased oboslete machines. Stop manufacture, lower the price, and when supplies are exhausted declare them discontinued. They have stopped mentioning the Plus in the literature they send out to user groups. The price of EVERYTHING else went up. They didn't even mention the Plus. I would love to be corrected by someone in the know. I think Apple should produce at least one Macintosh that middle class people can afford. TeriAnn PS any guesses as to which company will build the computer which will be 'the computer for the rest of us'? Apple dosen't seem to be interested anymore & I just don't know of any manufacturer into building a volks's computer.
