Look on the cover of this week's InfoWorld.  Basically, two systems.
One is gray-scale, 4Mb RAM, 40Mb disk, $5000 ($3000 edu), the other is
color, 8Mb, 200Mb, $9000 ($6000 edu).  Both are 1280x960, 68030 (clock
speed not mentioned), display postscript, 1.44Mb 3.5 in floppy, fax
modem, ethernet, scsi port with DMA, serial, port, parallel port,
mouse port, stereo sound processor, midi port, Un*x O/S.  Optional
Pixar graphics coprocessor.

Sounds like a potentially awesome machine.
